Looks like it to me, congrats. Keep in mind though that new tanks are usually not very stable for the first month or so. Stock slow and start with hardy animals.

i was planning on starting with 1-2 perc clowns. and a cleanup crew from swf.com.
i'm still having a hard time stablizing the temp. it jumps from 80-82. is this a problem? should i invest in a chiller?

my temp goes from 79-81 so that shouldn`t be a problem. good luck and go slow...
