Congrats! I like the look you're going for with the scape, but I would personally add a bit more rock just so there is more place to hide and more surface area for beneficial bacteria.

Hi and Welcome. 🙂

Tell us more about the tank.

Lighting?
Size?
Equipment?

While I love the minimalist look it's my experience that more rock is beneficial. Live cured rock and sand is extremely beneficial.
