Ok so I recently upgraded from a 29 gallon planted to a 55 gallon. I will be adding a solid black background and am in the process of looking for a very large piece of driftwood or two to help fill the space. Also will be adding more varieties of low to medium light plants.
Here is a video:

55 gallon
Sand substrate
Driftwood
Plants: Cryptocoryne wendtii, Dwarf Sagittaria, Anubias, java fern, wisteria
Livestock:
1 bloodred parrot cichlid
1 bolivian ram
5 turquoise ranbowfish
4 false julli cories
1 panda cory
6 neon tetras
6 otos
2 black kuhli loaches
1 rainbow shark
1 bristlenose pleco
1-gold apple snails
malaysian trumpet snails
Will be upgrading filtration soon to a canister, currently running an AC HOB filter. Lighting is two 15 watt flourescent plantgrow bulbs and two marinland doublebright LED strips. The LED's have been growing the plants in the 29 gallon for about 9 months now, I will post a pic of the 29 gallon before I moved the plants over.
