depends on how wet or dry you skim, but yeah that looks about right.

i am a chronic over feeder, so mine tends to be on the darker side. much more brown. if i turn the skim up a little wetter though, and cut back a bit on my feedings it looks a lot more like that.
 
As your tank gets older you want it to be darker so as not to pull out all of your supplements.
