Could you tell a few things about the plants, lighting, etc?
Plants in the tank are:
Hydrocleis nymphoides, 2 small Echinodorus and some moss.
PLants above the tank are:
Monstera spp, Spatiphyllum spp, Asplenium spp. and Blechnum spp.
Lights that I use above the tank are:
1x 58W T8 TL Philips 950
2x 20W LED Floodlights 6500K (Late evening lights)
Also I sometimes use the three 50W GU10 Spots 4000K for the plants above the tank.
Your tank looks great!!
Thanks, here's a new picture update:

Update:
Yesterday I started to coat my upper section of the tank. This is done with Elastopur, which is a two component coating. I used brown color pigment to darken the Elastopur and after that I used Peatfibers to give a more natural look. It isn't ready yet, so much word have to be done like more plants and decoration.
