Hardscapes And The Best Places to Buy Driftwood

I need Hardscape ideas for a 29 gallon freshwater aquarium. I might put some Anubias here and there but I want it to be mostly a driftwood Hardscape with rounded pebbles and sand. Is that a good idea? I want to put a GBR pair and a angelfish pair, is that okay? And lastly what is the BEST, I mean ABSOLUTLEY BEST place to buy driftwood and rocks/pebbles. Thanks, Hunter D.

filter recomindations

I have noticed that my filters output is a little strong for my 10 gallon tank. My corries dont seem to like the bottom current and my neons avoid the area of the tank where the filter is. My current filter is a tetra wisper 10i internal power filter, and I am looking for an afordable and good quality replacement that does not produce a big current from the return. What do you recomend?
