first timer w/ a 55

[Da Squid]

Yep... totally new at this, no clue what I'm doing. I have a 55g here with turface mvp. I was looking to get three inches worth of it but I think i went over board. I saw a rock wall that I liked in a photo somewhere and tried to create my own using rocks I pulled out of my garden (boiled them first).
The wall is rather unstable and I'm not all that crazy about it. I'll probably take it out before I add the water.
My cannister filter and python will be arriving in the mail tommorow so i'm just dry scaping everything right now. For lights, I have two 48" 54 watt T5 bulbs on the way. I'll probably only use one bulb untill I get comfortable with what I'm doing. I'll be working out a deal with Fort to get a plant package put together soon (low to low medium i'm assuming).

Assuming I successfuly get the pictures uploaded in this post, I invite and beg for advice from everyone. I have no ego to bruise so please tear this apart and help me get on track
