Looking good, and welcome back.
I think it looks quite nice although i would have went for sand over the gravel. Make sure that big rock is secure aswell because you dont want that falling on a fish.

Fair enough, What plants are you getting? All the fish will appreciate having some cover higher up in the tank. The betta and guppies would enjoy some floating plants like Amazon frogbit aswell. How big is the tank? The other thing is it looks like you have 5 male and 2 female guppies, Male guppies will harras the females so its best to have 2-3 females to every male so unless its a big tank it might be best to see if your lfs will swap a few over.

Sounds good. Might be worth checking in the planted section what plants they are once they arrive because ive heard of people getting none aquatic plants in with plant bundles of ebay.
In a 60l i think you could have
1 Male betta
8 Guppies (2-3 males and 5-6 females would be best)
8 Neons

That should be fine aslong as the filtration is good and maybe a few cherry shrimps aswell.
