Finally cycled aaaand… I hate it

I’m brand new to this hobby and I’ve spent the last month planting and cycling my tank, it’s finally cycled. Except now, I hate how it looks.

Honestly my biggest problem is piece of driftwood I bought. It’s attached to a piece of slate/rock, and the slate takes up far too much of my substrate so planting around it has been an actual nightmare. I don’t love my plant placement, except because of the rock I have had nearly no room to plant so aesthetics have gone out the window.

Also, the ramshorn and bladder snails are taking over. They were hitchhikers on plants from a friend and were cute at first. Now I fear they are eating my plants and reproducing like crazy (as they tend to do). I was hoping to avoid an assassin snail but I can’t find anyone to take these, even as food for other animals!

Basically, would it be crazy to start completely over, clean the tank out, and replant everything? Will this kill my plants? Can I reuse some of the substrate that I currently have in my tank?

Thanks in advance for any help!
