I got my driftwood in the other day and totally revamped the scape. Before it looked really cramped and overgrown. I threw away a lot of water sprite and wisteria, but I am pretty happy with the result. I also put in 20 more pounds of floramax to make the substrate deeper for the plants.
The pic is a little hard to see because all of the plants were pearling and the water was gassing off. I will get a better picture tomorrow when I get home and clean the glass.

You have inspired me to rescape my 55 now. Your tank looks fantastic!

Thank you! I enjoy it a lot more because it allows more open space for my danios to swim.


Nice! I find it a challenge to scape a 55g, granted I'm not very good at scaping so it's understandable...LOL
This is the first time that I had tried to do a bigger tank like the 55 with plants. I've hard scaped my 200, but I can't imagine trying to scape it with plants. I enjoy scaping smaller tanks like 20L though :3

I have a 45 long same foot print as the 55g just a few inches taller but those few inches is all it takes to mess up my perception...LOL (my 180g I just keep throwing more stuff at it until it looks decent...LOL) If I showed you pics of my 2 55g you'd laugh think how do you go from that to that...
