Tank looks VERY good.

I have a few suggestions for you..

#1 Slow down buddy.... it's not cycled or anything. If you add live-stock now you'll most likely lose it all and have a serious tank "Crash". You need to read and slow down my friend.

#2 Glue the rock. "Critters" will be in there and if they aren't glued/pegged or anchored some way the offs of a rock slide are VERY great.

#3 Get the "hinged" legs for your light. I got the regular ones first (I ordered them with the fixture) and then after a few weeks got the hinged ones. MUCH better and allows you to merely raise the light with one hand if need be. Just a couple of bucks more and well worth the $$

#4 Get some test kits and start doing your water tests YESTERDAY! Track each test result so you can "See" the tank's cycle as it happens and you'll know without a doubt what the status of your tank is.

What is your source for water?
