Great looking tank BTW.
Plus where did you get the small spiky plants from in the front of your tank, looking for some like that?

Overall I think it looks good!

I'd suggest maybe a few river rocks partly buried to break up the open sand area? Could look very natural.

Also, you could get some live floating plants to tiptoe into the world of live plants. I have found that not only do they look great, but the fish are more secure and active with them. Then you'd get a little benefit from the live plants with the only maintenance being trimming them back now and then. I use Brazilian pennywort. Others like water sprite or frogbit, and there are more, too.

Nice looking tank!! I'm with Betty boo I prefer fake plants mainly because I've had a few snails hitch a ride home from my lfs which have multiplied like mad! If you do consider adding some live plants snails are something to look out for.
