Right then. I’m useless at this hardscape part. I don’t even know what style I’m aiming for. I think a valley type of thing.

What do you think to these ideas?

I will be filling out with tropica soil, soil powder

and dragon stone.
 
I'm useless too & have nano tanks but here goes anyway!
I think photo no.6 & the last one are the best (the wood on the right looks like a brachiosaur on 3 legs). You've got two strong pieces of wood there & don't need all the fiddly bits added to get in the way block flow.
The way they are positioned in photo no.6 already has the beginnings of a valley drifting from left to right which you can enhance with your planting.
Both roots have plenty of spaces underneath where you can fit some dragon stone pieces to further anchor the arrangement to the substrate.
Whatever you decide, just keep playing with the hardscape until you're happy even if it takes an extra week! 👍🏻
 
8 and 9 look good , l struggle with wood and rock placement but looking at how ADA or George Farmer say do it raising ( wood) so that it's near the surface and the main piece seems to be one on right at one third in creates your focal point, Showroom pictures of Aquarium Gardens may help?
 
Doesn’t help that they’re taken from different perspectives of the tank and we don’t know which ones are the same layout taken from a different angle.

I am also not very good at photography hahaha

My kids said the same too!

I will spend some time today going over it and playing with it some more
 
Hi,
Looks like you are getting ready to fill with water, if so I would start soaking that Corbo Root now, takes forever and a day to become saturated.
Cheers!
