Thanks :D while I was setting the rocks I didn't have a clue how to set it but just went a long with it and also looked at a few youtube vids while setting it up to get ideas, seems like it turned out better than i thought.
The blue fish with black stripes to the far left is a malawi kenyi cichlid and is a female, the yellow cichlid to the right is the male version of the blue female kenyi. Them two are around 3" matured and also on their second batch of fry. The two blue fish inbetween the kenyi are both Pseudotropheus socolofi. These are really nice you cant tell too much in the picture but they remind of the marine fish with the blue & yellow light put together makes all the cichlids colours really show. The malawi cichlids are the closest in looks you're going to get to marine fish and have even read that these african cichlids are closely related to the damselfish.
 
There are lots of great inspirational photos in this thread of both aquascapes and fish in great condition!

Since my post on the first page, I've had a change round of several plant groups over a few sessions of "gardening" (sorry Opsarius!) and settled quite happily on this layout today, for a long term balance of open water and "jungle" sections...

 
I'll throw mine in just for good measure although I'm currently thinking of re-arranging (sorry for the crappy phone pic and the reflections, might upload a better one tonight lol):

My 46 gallon currently.... Not a permanent setup. This is my first time trying my hand at plants, so I bought a whole bunch and figured I'd see what I could keep alive and what I couldn't. So far, the only thing in that picture that is dying is my giant hygro, and the one non-aquatic is coming out later this week when I get the plants I ordered (a couple anubias, a java fern, and a "pretty looking" crypt--- Just to see what the quality is like. If they're good quality, I'm ordering more, but I didn't want to spend a ton of money and get a box of dead plants).

This picture was after I added the second lot of plants. Since then, the Hygro at the back and the Wisteria have grown about 2 inches, and everything else is starting to fill in. Once my other plants arrive, I'm going to be moving EVERYTHING in this tank to get something that looks a little more "pretty".
 
heres my tank, now has less plants though due to them not fairing too well :sad:
