looks pretty good, but if you are puttin plants in I would suggest going a little deeper. I know in my tank i have a few low spots and they are TERRIBLE to attempt to get a plant to stay put!

Is that sand or gravel? It looks like gravel in the picture. It does look better with the x-tra bag in there.
