Use some small but very branchy and wide driftwood/branches. What kind of fish or set up do you currently have?

Do lots of plants and driftwood. You will need to grow up your fish before they start to show in the 220.

like i want it to look bigger than it really is like i see 150 gallon tanks that look way bigger
Black background, dark substrate, subdued lighting, don't overcrowd with the decors will give the tank a sense of depth. Unfortunately, with your stock, live plants will ultimately get uprooted and/or destroyed, so get some better quality plastic plants.
