Which style of aquascape would work well in a long and narrow tank?

Tank display is 35"L x 9"W x 13"H. With such a long area to work with, and not very much depth or height available, which style of aquascape do you think would work best aesthetically?

Is it 9” wide including the integrated sump? 
 

I don’t think there’s necessarily one best type of scape for a long, low tank. I sort of like long tanks with a planted island on one side and then some negative space along the other. You’ll see this referred to as a triangle scape. 
 

Here’s an example from the web. Imagine it with your own planting choices!

The display window volume is 35x9x13. The sump is not included.

That’s good, you’ll have a decent amount of space to work with. It’s  almost as wide as a 10 gallon. It looks like a great tank. The integrated sump gives you tons of options for media and you can hide the heater too.
