After filling up and waiting for the temp to rise.
SG is at 1.002 and I'm using 2 Ac's,20 and 30. Hopefully I won't have any ammo or nitrite problems with this setup.
Filters have sponge and bio media.

In BW, hardscaping is much easier than live plants.

WOW! Those are not live plants? lol
Well i recommend you always to put big leave plants on the back or behind rocks, and smaller ones in the front or between the rocks, gives more depth to the hardscape..

Which is your SG goal? there are plants that handle BW...
Let there be light, and lit up the days... Let there be puffers, and they swam around the world...

I'm going to settle for a SG of 1.004. These plants are like ferns.

Plants look better in groupings of odd numbers, not lined up like individual soldiers.

Anubias never respond well on salt, i´d 3 species and all of them fall in some point...
But there are a lot of plants that can handle 1.004 (fe. microsorum pteropus), indeed, thats a low term BW.

"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Found among the papers of Mohatma Gandhi
