[contender]

no plans to show.

but, it has a wet/dry siliconed in, and i'm planning to also run an internal filter with it, that states 2400liters/hour.

As stated filtration is a huge Key element.

Id let the tank cycle atleast a month before adding fish (to be safe).

Cycling a tank without some kind of bioload doesn't work. the culture needs fish waste to live, Just go slow adding your fish, one or 2 than wait a couple days, and try to seed your filter with a live culture from an established tank. Getting a good test kit is also a good thing.
