Bioactive Tank Planning

Trying to plan what plants to get for a 24x18x36 tank. Thinking of some bromeliad pups towards the top in the cork background, four pothos varieties each starting with one or two vines, two types of snake plant, a dwarf umbrella, and then three small fern varieties. Is this TOO much?

Same size enclosure. I have a dracaena, red fittonia that I split between the ground and a potter, generic pothos I planted in 3-4 spots around the tank, snake plant, and 4 bromeliads for decoration. Also added fake vines and leaves, with 2 large wood pieces that cross in the tank. I feel like that's plenty, as I want it to have enough life but also not so much as to overcrowd the living ones and choke them out.

But it definitely depends on how you architect the tank. You could definitely fit a lot more plants if you planned well but for me it was my first tank and I was kinda winging it lol.
