I agree on this.
 
Some dwarf sag would make it look better or any foreground plant. Is yours high tech or low? Co2? What ferts do you use? In ky opinion you should add more wood. Moar plants.
 
Its low tech, not sure how strong the light in the lid is. Ive put some foil lined in the lid to make the light brighter. I dose with 2ml of easycarbo every morning just before i switch the light on. I was thinking more plants but abit worried they wont all get enough light. an yes i will scrap the bubble light
 
the plants i named are easy to grow and do well in low light set ups 
 
I would have to agree with mike but i also might add that you could try some anubias barteri var. nana in the front of the tank,  they are fairly easy plants to take care of and don't require very much light.  Mine seem to grow new leaves all of the time and i love them!
 
great thanks, how many of each plant should i get? the tanks 36x12x15 if that helps
 
thanks again :)

Yes i like the look of them. can all these plants grow in my gravel? as ive had to tie my java fern to the stones
 
i Myself tied mine down to things but they are able to grow in the gravel as long as you do not submerge the rhizome in the gravel then you should be all set, just submerge the roots.
 
the Aponogeton Crispus and barclaya might need a root tab but other wise gravel should be fine, as for the amount, id recommend 3 barclaya iv got 4 in my tank, i'll grab a snap quickly for you
