A planting design I have seen used successfully by a friend has been to leave the middle front third of the gravel fairly shallow then bank up the side and back areas giving a shallow area centre front that he has made into a bumpy moss field for his browsers. The sides and front are planted up hiding his heater and filter with the whole tank looking like a stage.

I've seen a few people suggest that a half full tank is as easy to work with as an empty one so I think I'll just drain it halfway. I also have two large clean buckets I can store some more tank water in.
Really like that idea for the tank, Most I have seen start shallow but level at the front then build into a slope and generally double the gravel depth up at the back. Basic and a bit dull but does the job. Your friends design sounds much more interesting.
