you will need a heater. Like a 100watt would be fine and you can put it in the back.

The only way to know if your cycle is dont is to test. You will see ammonia spike then go down then see nitrite spike then go down then see nitrate go up then do a water change and you can start adding some snails and hermits and then you can add your first fish.

Just as matt says but also a good rule is to test the ammonia every day, and don't let the ammonia above 1.0ppm as this will kill any hitchhiker that came in on your rocks. After the ammonia has peaked and starts going down then just wait as matt stated.
