Yes it does have a 55g sump, Substrate is just pool filter sand. The tank wasn't originally planted to be planted, but I lost interest in the large Cichlids quick.
I have done some reading about co2 and have fell into I don't think I don't need it. I am ok with the plants growing slower.
Great looking tank btw.

many people use stuff like seachem trace and flourish. another factor would be substrate. you could blow $500 on a lux co2 system but if you really want to do one well I would assemble it from different parts and build a nice system. but these guys make super nice ones

again its NOT necessarybut it sounds like thats what you want to do and many people feel that way but a TON of people would say that it isn't necessary you can view the admin thread about co2, its very controversial wether its needed but in you're case it seems like you'd be better off just seing what happens with those beams works and if it doesn't work replace the lighting and you won't need it. also if something goes wrong it will kill you're fish. another thing you'll probably need a 20lb co2 tank for that size. just one more Time, unless you're going for a tank like this (not mine) co2 isn't necessary and again their is probably 1000 articles about why to use co2 and why not to use co2 and in the end It boils down to you're tank I also have some questions about the tank!
does it have a sump? in addition to chloramine filter
what kind of substrate
if not a sump what kind of filter?
sorry its so long, when it comes to co2 their are people who would wright a 5 page paper (they know a lot more than me)
Great looking tank.
