I haven't updated this as I've been trying to find the right time of day to take a photo of the tank, but it seems there isn't one. Therefore, you'll have to excuse the reflections!
I can't say I'm happy with the rockwork on the far left, but it's all I had, so yeah, improvements to be made there! I'm also not keen on the accidental 50/50 split of hardscape and plants, but it's too much of a hassle to change! The vallis has taken off like something that goes really fast, almost negating the need for the ceratopteris for fry survival now. When I broke the other tank down, I found quite a few fry there and the adults don't seem to predate them once they've hit a certain size, even though they would easily fit in their mouths. I've still got the internal filter from the previous tank running in there whilst the HMF populates with the good stuff, but I think it can come out soon. You can just make out the entrance to the back of the tank, behind a rock, which gives more swimming space than there appears to be.
Above the waterline there is also growth, even though it's not visible unless you take the lid off!
The hydrocotyle is hardly correct for the biotope, but plants available to use from the correct biotope are few and far between.
