You have way too many species in there! You have five foreground plants in a rather small tank. I would pull half of the easier to get stems and the larger ones. Leave the smaller leaved ones.

Try to plan out your scape a little better. Micro sword, HC, Etennullus, and the hair grass will spread all over the place. You need to eliminate a few of them. I would get rid of the tennullus and the micro sword. You can have a very nice foreground with HG, HC and stauro. Get more of each and fill in. HC up front, stauro behind it, and HG behind it.

Again have a sketch of where you're going with this. You have the same problem as most of us when we first started. All the plants are very nice and you want all of them. They just won't fit into your tank dim. Try some hardscape...wood or rock.
