My 55 gallon planted tank

[MokaMommy]

Hi,

I've had plants in my tank for several months, and have been randomly buying different things to see what I like. Now I would like to focus more on aquascaping. I'm contemplating changing out my gravel, but I plan on staying low tech and so far I guess I'm not having any major issues so maybe I'm ok

My equipment is--

(1) 48" Coralife 56 watt double strip (65k and colormax)
(1) 48" single strip 32 watt flora bulb
marineland emperor 400

PWC: 10-25% Weekly
Ferts: Seachem Flourish (Liquid & Tabs), Flourish Potassium
Water Testing: API Freshwater Master Test Kit

Plants:
4 Ludwigia repens
2 Spiral vals
3 Val nana
1 Anubias lanceolata
1 Lutea
2 Bronze wendtii
1 cilita
1 Anubias barteri
1 Onion plant
1 Amazon sword
1 red wendtii
2 rotala
duckweed
hornwort
java fern
java moss

Fish:
4 Green tiger barbs
3 Reg tiger barbs
3 Albino tigers
2 Black neons
4 Fruit salad tetras
2 BN plecos
4 Yoyo loaches
3 danions
2 glo fish
5 rosy barbs
6 amano shrimp
8 rcs

Any feedback would be appreciated!

Thanks

Normally I am a big advocate of sand, but the gravel really looks nice in your tank, and I really like the way you have it planted, very nice.
