Thoughts on rock type and plant selection for new angelfish tank

Got the tank for my office build today and leak tested/started soaking the Corbo catfish root I am using as part of the hardscape

It’s currently floating nicely but weighed down with a bit of dragon stone so I did the best I could to try a couple of different positions

Tank has some challenging dimensions (950 x 500 x 750), with the height lending itself well to angels. First time set up since I bought it in 2021 with the aim of putting it in an alcove in a house we no longer live in 😂. Couldn’t let it go to waste so have built it into a unit against a wall in my office and plan to run 100% RO to the back of the tank which has the kitchen behind it.

Looking for ideas on rock type and plant selection given it will be a softwater tank. Also whether it’s worth running co2 or keeping it low tech due to the depth? I have an ONF flat one + light which did suggest 750mm was the maximum depth. Would love to get some pops of red in there if I can!

If I run co2 I’ll either use an inline diffuser or reactor. I’ve got an aquael ultramax 2000 filter which I’ll probably use one of those dual duck bill outlets on to give me the best chance of pushing the co2 everywhere
