Your hardscape is already very good. Given a chance, I'd like to pick up some tips from you. IMO, hardscape is one of the harder things to achieve. Plant selection is more like an icing on the cake. Whichever plant you add in also look so good. Lol. Can teach me how you make your 2ft look like 4ft?!?!

omg
im utterly flattered

to be honest i feel that
my scape is only average at best. It is stil lacking that
"X"factor , which really mean having it depicting a natural
landscape/environment. but mine didnt.

pls dont say teach, i be glad to share
usually i begin with a theme, then sketch it out, then try to look
for rocks/driftwood that matches. of cos, along the way i do change my mind
sometimes

i really dont think it looks like a 4feet leh, the otos are a dead giveaway haha..

Looking good. Will be better when plants fill in. Maybe remove equipments for next photo update?

As for making a small tank look bigger, low height for virtual width and bigger hardscape in front, small ones behind to create more depth.

Can I ask, does a lot of wastes and debris get collected at the back of the scape where visibility is poor?

Why de-comm? It's a lovely setup! Would have fetched a pretty price if you sold it off and got a new set to do up. Lol.
