My my my there it is :) I've waited a long time to see you post that picture. It looks great, a lot of hard work and research paid off :)

Thank you! :) Those swords eventually succumbed and I had to remove them about a week ago. Kinda sad. I miss the greenery.
 
New set up

Getting ready... I've been cycling the tank for about 4 weeks now, added dither fish and plants 2 weeks ago, and more rock today

Thanks! I used rock that previous homeowners had left in the garden, and a piece of slate that a landscape company let me have as a free sample (even knowing that I was using it for an aquarium, and wasn't planning on coming back for a tonne of it.)

Should I get more? I want to but I am worried about overstocking since its only a 55 gallon. I will buy more rocks for it eventually.
 
Wow! Awesome :) I wish my fish were as active as yours maybe I need to buy some more

Lol I took that picture making them think they were going to get fed. It's am in wall build and when someone opens the door to go into the room on the other side they all zoom to the middle and look up lol. They do it everytime my wife goes to do laundry its so funny. My brother in law said oh wow they do have brains lol
