Alright, I've got a 5ft x 16"x 20" (LxWxH) that should be ready on wednesday or thursday. I want some suggestions of what I could do with it, ie substrate driftwood, rocks, possibly plants. I want it to be a simple but effective tank, thats easy to keep clean. So if you have any suggestions or pics that might be help that would be appreciated :)

Alright, after taking everyones suggestions into consideration I went out and got some pool filter sand today :P Not sure if it is the right grain size, he said there was only one "16/30" so thats what I got.. it looks quite fine though.

Good choice bun. Sorry I didn't answer sooner, but quite frankly I don't know what I'm talking about yet. Although I bought the same sand for my 6 ft, with substrate underneath. If I was starting it again now I'd go the Caribsea Ecocomplete (currently on special with ASA).
