Default Ishar's 2.5G Nano- "The Meadow"

Hey guys. I decided impulsively the other day to start up a nano tank. It was originally going have only hairgrass (HG) and some stargrass for a background plant but I think that the HG will be too tall to have right at the front so I am hoping to use Glosso for that cause.

Here is a shot of how it is set up (minus the plastic wrap that is on top of it now) to grow the HG in emersed. The HG is currently planted everywhere but I will unplant it at the front and replace it with glosso once I get some.

I know the angle of the photo below is pretty bad but it was the only way I could do it an not get a glare. The focal point is off-center to the left, and the substrate slopes up from the focal point to the edges and to the back.

Any comments are welcome

SPECS
TANK: 2.5G standard
FILTER: Elite Mini
CO2: Will use pressurized once I flood the tank, spread by the filter
LIGHT: 13W PC lamp from Wal-Mart. Full spectrum Daylight bulb.
SUBSTRATE: 1" of soil topped with flourite
FLORA: current: HG; planned: HG, glosso, stargrass
FAUNA: currently none, not sure if it ever will get stocked
