nice scaping. You might want to put some epoxy on the top rocks if it is not stable so that it will not be knock down by fish or turbo snalls

I removed the market prawn yesterday which been inside the tank for 24 hours.
Today checking out the water parameters:
PH: 8.0
KH: 5 dkh
Ammonia: 0.6 ~ 0.9ppm
Nitrite: 0.25ppm
Nitrate: 20 ppm
sg: 1.019 (refractometer)

Is the parameter looks alright under 6 days cycling?

Water looks quite clear now.
Been added Bacteria, Calcium, PH buffer and KH buffer on day 3.

Good to add buffer to boost KH, try to increase up to at least 8dKH. Since u hve no fish yet u could do it immediately but in future if u have livestock, advisable to increase only 1 or 2 dKH per day...

Some argue higher salinity promotes better color in fish ie 1.023 to 1.025.... whilst lower salinity would prevent ich/whitespot outbreak.. For my fish only tank, my preference is 1.019 to max 1.022...
