Already Remodeling

So, after the first week with a long and skinny 55 gallon tank I have come to the conclusion that I don't like the layout. Since I have Ich and I am treating my tank I might as well take the opportunity to put the fish in a much smaller quarantine tank (reduces my water changes->effort->money) and remodel my present tank layout. First I want to darken the substrate and make sure it is plant friendly, then I want to get rid of the LFS ornaments (columns and coral) and replace them with real Vermont slate and live plants. I want a more natural looking tank to express and accentuate the plants and fish.



Here is a sketch of the new layout.
