Enter the what???

Here's a pic of the tank. I just added the plants last week so they haven't filled in yet. Also, I can't find any driftwood tall enough to cover the top 8" of space so it looks kinda bare.

It's freshwater right now because that's what they were in at the lfs. I do plan on making it brackish in a couple weeks and I picked plants that could withstand low brackish water, sg .1005. I got them from http://www.aquariumplant.com and they had different sections for brackish, low-light, etc. Hopefully it will work.
