Yes, I have quite a few plants there already. Altho I may consider getting some more, since the 55gl tank is so big, it makes my good old fern look like grass. Thank you

Well, the first of all. Thank you all for your help. My new tank's PPM is 370. It seems quite high. In fact, the water is really marky, plus it got darker after I added a second driftwood (new, rinsed it with boiling and fresh water for about 30-45 minutes). That is my current concern. Since...

Thank you. I will update on this better tomorrow, since it is really late and I have classes tomorrow. But,so far I finished the transfer and it seems they are ok. However, I do notice them being too "quiet" not moving a lot, but also, being alert. Some of the snails are on the top, but some are...
