It looks good for a first one! You should take the weights off your plants and spread them out a bit so they grow better

Hello! Welcome

Actually, many first time aquarists buy small tanks.
They're really harder to care for and keep, because the water parameters can easily go out of wack and toxins build up way faster.

The bigger the tank, the easier it is to care for.
What size is your tank?
It's nice by the way!

I did the same thing when I started though, I started off with a 5 gallon. Then I went up to a 29 gallon soon after because I was
having so many problems with my 5 gallon, spending more money to keep it safe than I should, so I moved up a few sizes.

I had problems with my 29 gallon as well though also, and just recently moved to a 90 gallon.
I love it!


But good luck, and ask any questions you have on here!
Somebody will almost always have an answer or advice for you!
If I would have been a part of this forum back when I had my other tanks, I would have been WAY better off.
People on here are life savers!
