Im not a fan of empty tanks so this is how I like to keep my fish.

Wow nice tank. How often r u doing water changes tank looks a little cloudy. COuld just be the angle or me. Nice fish and tank though. that size is it?

Its a 190l Trigon bowfronted corner tank,I change water 30% 2 week Cloudy is atrick of the light Its actually darker now Ive added peat to the filter.

Are all of the plants live...i am assuming so. Any CO2 injection? Only gourami's (that I can see in the pic)... any other tankmates? Peat...in filter compartments? This setup is similar to ones I have had in the past & am planning to set up again now soon. Am curious about your water hardness levels and pH levels? Plants that work best with your levels?
Sorry for all the ?'s, but I have found it is the best way to learn!
