So yea has the title says I did, I am very proud of it, I'm not done with it, but this will be a kind of journal to see how it progresses. What I did is that I got all my fish, decor, plants and sand from my 29 gallon, an put them in my 55 gallon, it looks amazing! I will post more pics tomorrow, it's just that the water is a bit cloudy, tell me what you think!
Thank you
This is the tank, 60 pounds if sand in there

So that's the tank, again will be posting progress, I still need to show all the fish, and the big amazon sword has a planting coming too
Thank you!
 
Tank looks really good!!
All of the fish look nice too, I really like your guppy.

I have a question for you. I'm quite new to fish-keeping and want to put some live plants into my tank. Do I need to run Co2? I have seen it used before but I'm wondering if it is necessary.

U can use API c02 booster along with API leaf zone and seachem flourish if you get a Amazon sword they are heavy root feeders so you needsome form of root tab
 
Is that real driftwood??? It looks awesome! Where did you get it?
 
Thanks for the replies guys!

No it's not real driftwood, looks real huh? I got it at petsmart, and I think it is one of their best quality decoration items, though I am planning on putting in real DW
Co2 really helps your tank, though not necessary, not for simple plants like the ones I have, I am hesitating on adding liquid co2 because I plan on putting anacharis in and I am afraid it will melt the plants

It hasn't melted my plants my lotus and banana plant love it lol
 
Oh really? And nothing has happened? What kind of co2 do you use, and how much for what sized tank?
 
My anarchis melted without glut... Maybe it just hates me. Yet my rotala mini butterfly (deep red) Is growing fine.
 
Really? Wow I really want anacharis because I bought it finger long and in about 2 months it grew to the top of my 55 gallon tank, plus it looked very nice
 
Ok guys update

So, tank I'd flourishing, though because of school, I have let it fall a bit, two of my three amazon swords got unplanted and died, the other one is flourishing I want to add at least three or four more
I let my mom clean one of my plants, my huge water wisteria, and she accidentally ripped off the roots, it is currently floating to see if it recuperates
I went ahead and moved the java ferns, but some of my plants have some black stuff in them, any ideas of what it could be?
I added 3 nerite snails, I have to say I am very impressed with the clean up they do, I plan on adding 7 more, or maybe even add 15 to the tank
My apple snail ha also grown to be of golf ball size

The wisteria should be fine. If you just cut off a piece of a leaf, it will grow roots and become a little wisteria plant.
