I got the 20 gallon tank I recommend UV sterilizer if you plan on getting fish. They have one specifically made for the tank. It keeps the water crystal clear and removes parasites that can kill the fish. I also recommend skimmer if you want to do less water changes in the future. I also recommend auto top off if you do not want to constantly refill the tank with a glass of water daily.

Looks good!!! :) I did it like that as well. I played with the rock for a couple hours until I found what I liked hahaha. Get a piece of cardboard and place on top of the tank and cut it. So you can get an idea of the room in the tank you have to build with
