I hate this so much I've been lowkey neglecting my fish for the past while, compare to other setups I see everyone i genuinely from the bottom of my heart feel embarrassed that this is the best I got.
Any suggestions on how to unfuck this mess please?

Left side is a giant piece of driftwood with a fuck tons of Java fern. Some are rotting. It just looks ugly. Had to put a rock on top because otherwise Java fern just start floating with ugly roots everywhere.

My sand started turning black a year ago. Looks fucking ugly. Especially when dead roots and others shit start piling after like a day, something about the waterflow making the tank have way too many dead spots.

All my fish spend 24/7 hiding in the bottom right side. You can't even tell I have 8 rummynose tetras in my tank because they just hide behind the Lego building. Like I just want to see Cory chilling on my plants and in the open area, and tetras swimming everywhere. Instead my tank looks like a graveyard.

I don’t think it looks that bad. I think you could heavily plant this tank and it would come alive and your fish would swim around some more. Might need some nutrient rich substrate. Mix up the shades of green, add a few easy red plants, and it’s going to look good. Or pull it all out and start over. I found that I wasn’t the greatest at aquascapes, especially hard scape and design. I’m trying a Dutch style now and I’m just going to plant stems and make it look full and lush. And if I don’t like that or I get bored, I’ll pull it all out and try something else.
Needs height at the back and a carpeting plant and could look great.
Put a background on it. The entire illusion of being underwater when you look thru and see a bunch of cables and tubes and a kitchen chair, etc. is blown.
