As for my vision for the 55... I ideally want a planted tank. Would like a dark substrate, black would be awesome. As for the plants, I don't know what my options are. I have seen tanks with all kinds of things I would love to have. Some kind of tall leafy plants in the back that would move with the motion of a powerhead. Some smaller things in the middle. Would like the stuff (forgive my ignorance) it almost looks like patches of grass in the foreground.
Don't know anything though. Not even sure if maintenance wise, a planted tank of any kind is in my wheelhouse.
That is my ultimate vision though.
The main limiting factors for me are money. I am not a wealthy man so I will be piecing things together as finances permit. I won't even think of adding water to my tank until it is ready, and no fish until the water is ready. I will do this right. Don't take things lightly and am a bit of a perfectionist. It was hard for me to buy a used tank as I knew I would find little wear and tear issues that would bother me.
