Those fish will be fine So you are fish in cycling then?

I think a black background would be nice to help conceal all the equipment and make the plants "pop" more. Perhaps adding a slope in a corner to add dimension?
Lastly, make sure that Frogbit doesn't get out of hand. Otherwise they'll block a lot of light that would enable your other plants to thrive.

Yes I am doing a fish in cycle. Used a bottle of Tetra SafeStart to start this tank like my other.

I have the black background already just haven't mount it up yet. But for the slope look, I wasn't sure hot to achieve this without just using more substance. I think I read something about styrofoam.

Why not just add more substrate?

I really like that.

Amazon swords grow huge in my tank. Are you going to keep them in the foreground corner?

Probably not, this is a grow out tank for my main tank. These will get sold at some point.

Oh, okay. I must have missed that further up in the thread.
