those Oceanic 50 gallons sure are a great sized tank for planting / scaping.
They have several over at my local PetSmarts that they are clearencing for like $300, tank - stand - light (not that you keep that light) but a good deal IMO - just they sold the one with the white / natural wood cabinet, only have black left and I don't have any room for black furnature, it just doesn't look right with my natural Maple woods and the furnature in my house.
But if it goes down any further, then I might have to put it upstairs, no maple wood up there.

And I love the coralife fixtures, I am running them on 3 tanks, one 29 gallon combined with a 65 watt PC then I have two 20 longs and one on each.
I am thinking of adding one more to each 20 long as I have pressurized Co2 and want a little more even distribution of the light, on those short tanks, it just doesn't get the front and rear and all 4 corners by itself.

I like your wood and substrate, can't wait to see you going for it.
