Looks good, just be careful about the canister filter with nitrates plying up. And yes test for nitrates.

I love the blue background too!

Toaha : You have it going on I like it. You have came a long way. Yes you should keep track of you nitrates You don't want to let them get over 40 but under 20 is much better. They will stress out your fish. And It will take a lot of water changes to get them back down if you let them get out of hand. I seen the blue fish but not clear enough to say what it is maybe you could get a better pic of it. I guess you will be shoveling snow for money before long. The lawn mowing is over up in the cold north country. I'm really impressed with your tank you have really hung in there most people your age don't have what it takes to stick with something. It also looks like you have a mushroom I could not make out any thing other then that.
