I think the leucs like more floor space than vertical but new viv isn't a simple mod lol. You could put more big leaf litter to increase horizontal surface area - they are a bold species but they also like to hide in the leaf nooks and crannies, and the cleanup crew will appreciate them too. You could also add another cork tube or long driftwood to give them a shallow slope to use the vertical space more. Maybe add a vinyl background to the outside back and sides to give it a more contained look and bring out all the colors in the viv. You can buy window blackout vinyl that uses only water and pressing (no glues) making it removable. I used this and it came with all the tools besides water. https://a.co/d/08meM8sT Plants are more of my specialty: the one in the back left (monstera?) looks like it's reaching for light and not as full as it should be (etoliating). Could be that the light is so far up that it's not getting bright enough down to where it is growing, or that the light isn't full spectrum PAR for plants. You can get a light meter (measures brightness only, pretty cheap) and a PAR meter (measures the "quality" of the light, AKA for us nerds making sure the light puts out the wavelengths plants need). Place the meters where the plants currently are to see how much is reaching them, and measure right next to the light to see the difference and compare if you want to buy a new bulb/light. The fixtures do degrade over time especially with high humidity. If you can't find a light situation that will make the monstera happy, you could replace it with a fern or something that wants less intense/lower light. It seems bright but distance from the light source is deceiving sometimes. Also make sure the bromeliad base/roots arent touching too much substrate or moss or it will rot over time. If the plants all grew in, you'd probably have a really nice and full vertical column, but the light might be limiting them.
