Hello all!

I am starting a new aquarium and wanted some recommendations on my layout. The rock is epoxyed in place so I cant move it but Id love some recommendations on plant placement and other decor to add. This is a 55 gal tank thats actually going to be brackish, but Im going high sg so i thought itd be ok to ask! Im going for a saltgrass estuarine look. I cant figure out the best placement for the plants though (theyre fake btw). Also sorry for no light, it has been ordered and is on the way.

Thanks!

I should add the dumb beware of jaws sign is in there because it was my first aquarium decoration from when I was young. Also Im hoping the puffer I eventually get takes a liking to the cave I made for it
 
I've never done a brackish tank... well, I guess I had discus at one time, with just a pinch of salt, but not a higher SG brackish tank. Considered it... it can be very attractive, done right.

As for layout... if you're happy with it, that's what matters. Looks fine to me.
