Do you mind if I ask what plants you have and what's your substrate and lighting

I don't mind at all. I use aquariumplants.com substrate pellets (trace, iron, phosphate, and what they call "total"). I have a 4 bulb t5 fixture with a built in timer. I have a 10,000K and 6,500K bulb come on from 11am until 9pm and then I have, I think a 6,200K bulb and an actinic blue bulb come on from 1pm until 6pm.

Thanks, I just got a 55 and Im planing to plant it but I want to start it right from beginning,I don't want to do same mistake I did on my 10 galon I started it with fake plants and planted it after a month it looks awesome but plants are not strong enough I don't have a good substrate , by the way your tanks looks beutiful that's why I was wondering all about your stock

Sorry my reply here is so late, been pretty busy the past couple weeks. And yeah I understand its important to start things out right. My 55 has gone through so many changes since I first set it up, which was over a year ago. Don't hesitate to ask if you have specific questions and I'll be updating more pictures again soon. If you wanna know what product I have and use to ask me, I've tried to post pictures of most of my equipment in this folder.
