will adding live plants make a big difference or will i need a jungle of plants in order for it to work
Depends on your stocking level. The more plants, the less Nitrate, but keep in mind, your plants won't draw nitrate unless your other chems are in check. So that means balancing Nitrate, Potassium, and Carbon as well as trace.

Why would you ever want to overstock a tank?
Overstocked is a matter of opinion.

Again this is a matter of opinion, there are some that think keeping any fish in a glass box is cruel.
