Default CG's 29 gallon, 10/16 Update

Hi all!

Tank specs:
Tank- 29 gallon tank
Filter- Rena xp3
lighting- a 55 watt ah supply bright kit w/ a 9325k 55 watt ge bulb (i love this color)
Substrate- Flourite black
C02- 2 2liter coke bottles with a mixture of 1 cup sugar and 1/2 tsp yeast
Ferts- Fish poo for now although i will get a rex grigg fert package when i get more money
Fish- 7 neons, 1 angel (soon to be traded in for more neons), and 1 albino bristle nose

On to the pics!

Old tank, 20 gallon long


E. tennelus i received


Making my lights: Its so cool since my dad got it to fit in my old hood and hid all the wire so that only the ballast is outside




When i first turned it on, it suprised me on how bright it was and my retinas were burning for a while...


Old fish i the 29 (the lighting is with the new lights btw)






Tank change The flourite was easy to wash, i only rinsed it like 5 times.


e. tennelus i had to work with, it was a constant battle with runners


My anubias That stick has like 7 different rhinezomes


My other one, when i bought it (6 months ago) it only had 5 leaves LOL


Heres my new fish tank, do you guys think its over stocked?


Real fish tank, some of the pics are when the water was blurry. Some pics has flash, some dont.

Left side


Heres some equip

I am really liking the layout right now. I can kinda see how i want to put the other plants. The Enchidorus tennelus is kinda brown though. Thats because it was living in a less than good tank for about a week (the 20 gallon pic) although some of it is already sending shoots.

Some plants i plan to get: Hygrophilia Corymbosa (back right corner), cabomba (back left corner), stargrass (middle), ludwigia repens, (left in the middle), and some other plants. I will probably buy this from the swap and shop forums

Any suggestions on what i can do to the tank and whatnot? I'll accept bad critism too

Thanks!
