No problem! It took a bit of time to link all of that, lol.
While you're going through my post, and researching more, please prepare to feel a bit overwhelmed. Don't let that dissuade you from this rewarding hobby! You will kill fish, plants, grow algae, and make many mistakes, despite how careful you are. I've lost quite a bit of fish myself, but each one has given me a new perspective about how to do better in the future.
I don't take losses lightly, but sadly they are a fact of life as a newbie aquarist. They are your pets, and in your care. Do not forsake them, no matter how lazy you may feel that day. Their lives are gifts. How you handle that is a clear judge of your character.
I really enjoy checking out The Planted Tank every day. I've gotten quite a few awesome deals when buying fish, plants, and equipment off of the members there. In fact, that's where I should have sent you instead of amazon (but I suppose amazon is less time-intensive).
If you are interested in learning more about plants, check out PlantGeek. You will discover that different plants require different amounts of light intensity, as well as levels of CO2 in the water. Your style tank is considered "Low-tech". If you are not currently using proper soil substrate for planted tanks, like Eco-Complete or "safe" potting soil, your plants will probably die. "High-tech" tanks include CO2 systems that slowly fizz CO2 gas into the water column, which is carefully measured, because too much CO2 will asphyxiate the fish. CO2, however, makes an aquatic plant grow fully, and is what many model tanks use. However, low-techs can grow quite well if done correctly.
Good luck, and feel free to PM me whenever you want some specific and timely help. I'm online a lot at work. ;)
The wood shape is actually from 2 pieces of wood leaning on each other. The tank has the far left and far right pieces.
As for the soil - Caribsea Eco-Complete 2 bags of this stuff filled my 20 gallon long perfectly.
