Hey there! It's been quite some time since I last worked on this tank. I have, um, forgotten to work on this tank because my other, smaller, tanks have been needing my attention more. And well it takes a bit more $ to do a 55 than a 10g;)

So, I got some plants yesterday and I'm still figuring out what to do with them, but here's the technical information:
Tank Size: 55g
Filter: Currently 2 weird filters that were in my turtle tank (need to get a better one)
Heater: a 250W heater
Lighting: Currently very litte, um just 1 15W CFL, but I'm getting a nicer light soon (I'll address this later)

Fauna:
x5 Diamond Tetra
x1 Peppered Cory
x3 Panda Cory
x2 Angelfish

Flora:
Anubias (some kind...)
Loads of Pennywort
Loads of Cardamine
Telanthera
Italian Val
Green Cabomba

I haven't put any of the plants in yet (besides the anubias), but here are the current pictures:

So that's what it looks like... Yeah, not too pretty:whistle:. But hopefully it'll start looking spiffy soon enough! I'll upload some pictures if I figure out where to put everything!:)
 
Well I planted the tank-ish. It isn't the best aquascape out there, but hopefully over time it'll grow into a beautiful tank. Or at least that's the idea... I'll get some different plants in the future:)

I was given a boat load of stem plants, I mean the lady gave me 3-4 bunches for every 1 bunch I bought! I only got 1 bunch of each and I have way too much!

Here are the pictures of it currently planted:
