Looking good! Best advice I can give is add fish slowly and plan out what fish you want to add. If there is one fish you must have in the tank, plan your tank around that fish. Your stocking list for compatibility is important but the order in which you add them can be equally important.

The cycle is still on it's first stage. After the ammonia is 0 then your second stage is nitrites 0 after that do a 20% water change then your ready
