Finally got my 55 gallon transfered to planted.

If you still haven't decided yet if your gonna get the 2bulbs or the 4 bulbs, I'd go with the 4 bulbs. That way you can keep two bulbs on at a time and then use the other two with 4 hours burst during the day. You will need CO2 though. In that big of a tank, I'd highly recommend a CO2 set-up.
 
Yeah I'm setting up a DIY co2 this coming week, going with a 2 liter bottle setup with a wooden air diffuser. I'm going to just go with the 2 bulb setup to save money, the 10,000k day bulb and 10,000k freshwater bulb will be enough lighting for the tank.

As for the credit card thing, it's like window tint when you apply it it bubbles out, so you use something to slide the bubbles out of it. Kind of the same thing I did with the background lol.
 
So I added a Flora-Glo 18"15 watt lighting to my 55 gallon for right now, this should be good enough for the plants until I can get my Nova Extreme system in the next week or two.

My plants looks so good right now, my large Amazon Sword was in ok condition a bit of the leaves were brown and dying off when I bought it, it has come back to life, and has been getting very healthy and bright green with some new growth and new leafs coming in. I'll be getting some moss here in the 2 weeks and tying to the drift wood pieces, large river rocks, and the main ceramic piece in the tank.

I was thinking of some Christmas moss or something comparable to it, that Angel Fish will not try to eat unlike Java Moss lol.
