Default Tank Opinions

My tank is very healthy and all levels are fantastic, I'd just like to get some feedback on the set up of my tank :D
and i do realize at full size things could get crowded but I will compensate for this.

Not sure what you are wanting opnions on? A perfectly clean tank does not mean a healthy tank. You can actually be too clean.

If you mean the tank in your sig, seems okay to me. I would have chosen a 2217, or one of the Pro 3 models, although I am a big fan of any Eheim model. Your CAE may not be good for your tank for very long, as they tend to get aggressive as they get bigger.

What type of light, substrate, and plants do you have?

Glofish are essentially zebra danios,and I believe they are schooler,so think of getting a few more.

And then just an echo of what Ben said on the CAEs.

Yes, i do plan on either moving the small fish or the CAE's at some point...
The danios were my sisters idea, and I told her that she had better get some more of them because they do not like to be on their own, but it does tend to school with the other fish quite often so it should be fine for the time being.. I'm not 100% sure of the lights, because it was a preowned tank and the writing on it was worn off, but we had to buy a temporary "office" light for the second half because the other was broken, so that will be changed soon, possibly along with the other bulb considering it is fairly old... The substrate is gravel, and we have lots of tall fake plants that are good for hiding...

The danio should be in a school but make sure it's at least 5 or 6 because 2 or 3 will end up always fighting.
