how do you start a plant nursury for profit?

"Profit" is a relative term. With only one 55g tank, the best you can hope for pay your expenses plus maybe a few extra dollars.

You'll want some decent light, some good co2, and a nutrient rich substrate. After that you'll want to grow some more rare/difficult plants. Those are they only ones that are remotely "profitable". The easy plants or the ones that grow quickly don't sell for a lot of money, and therefore won't "profit"

Most of the people that you see selling plants en masse generally buy them wholesale and resell them online at retail. Most of us hobbyist don't really make money, we just cover our expenses. To come out ahead, you'll need more than a 55g.

Study the market. See what plants are selling and for how much, then look up those plants and see what the growing requirements are. There are all different kinds of plants that sell well, but the growing requirements are different.

The common ground is good light, good co2, and good nutrients.

Do you currently grow plants? That's the first step, learning how to grow plants just for yourself.
