New tank 5ft 76g community

[Gourami Swami]

So i just got back into the hobby since I can keep a tank where I live now, picked up a used 60x14x21 tank on craigslist that was custom made at some point. Cost me under a hundred dollars. Im going to do a central american community, right now the tank is cycling with a small rainbow cichlid and two female convicts. I have a sunsun 304b on the tank as well as a fluval u4 and a marineland powerhead. I seeded the fluval with established media, and I'm using microbe-lift nite out II so the cycle shouldnt take long.
Here it is so far

Nice looking tank! What type of plants are those?

 

[Gourami Swami]

Update, removed one of the female convicts as she was laying eggs and trying to breed with a male firemouth I added. Also put in 5 buenos aires tetras and some more live plants. going to keep this stock list until the tank is fully cycled.

You know that is a Jack Dempsey in the pic with the convict right?

 

[Gourami Swami]

thanks everyone, and mp, it does look kind of like a jack in the picture at that angle, doesnt actually look much like one in person

Update, didnt like the light hanging like that and didnt want to spend the money on glass tops, so I built these little stands for my LED light and used tiles as a lid. Fish are all still doing great.
