Get up some pics. There are some stickies that you should read at the top of the planted tank section.
ok 55 gallon with eco i have had that set up in the past also with swords eco is a complete nutrient based soil that will last a while to say the least.. yes you need more light swords are known to need a lot of light i dont light to use the watts per gallon but they say 3-5 watts per gallon.... your plants do need food "co2" and doseing ferts helps .... i have a complete line of seachem each containing different beneficial and necessary supplements to promote plant growth.....to sum it all up basicaly you have a house for your dog.... no water no food no exercise... how healthy will he be
