betta tank cycled

The day before yesterday nitrites started to drop in here, and it finally completed cycling yesterday, I did a large water change this morning.

Relieved it's all leveled out now- I could tell right away things were improving because Ruby quit looking crashed all the time and started swimming around the tank again!

Plants are mostly looking ok-

and rotalas are starting to straighten out too

Not thrilled with how I arranged them, but I'll wait for some stuff to grow back before I move things around again.
