you'll want to check your ammonia in a week or so see if you have a spike...if so then your cycle has started...maybe check sooner sometimes tanks cycle fast you never know...then your nitrites and nitrates will go up and once everything is back to zero then your good to go

The fish didn't pay any attention to it because Pepsi sucks.

Try to remove the background and dry it off before putting it back on... looks like it got some water stuck between it and the glass.

Good Looking tank. I also like the dimensions of the tank. I am curious about one thing. Are you planning on using the deodorant if the fish start stinking? :notsure:
