Start Up

Sunday I got a new 60 gallon tank. It says 60 gallons on the tag, but the calculator put it at 64.8g or 252.2 liters. At any rate it's 48x24x13. I just wanted to show a pic of it so far (doing a fishless cycle) and I'll be adding a piece of driftwood to the left side of it after it's done soaking. Any suggestions besides what I have now? Thanks for looking.

Good start and well done on doing the fishless cycle.

The water doesn't always go right to the top due to lighting, hence it is less than when you put the actual measurements of the outside of the tank into a calculator.
Also, there is always a little less after adding substrate and decorations (water displacement). So you are more looking at something like 55 - 60 gallon.
