Default Please Review my Tank

I'm going to try and get an axi sometime in late August, but for now I'm just cycling my tank. The tank is twenty gallons, with a ReptiClear F250-350 filter and airstone. I've got it planted with java moss, an amazon sword plant, a water hyacinth and duckweed. There are a few very small snails (maximum size 2 mm) that came in on the plants. I've got stone slabs and sand as my substrate, with a few scattered smaller rocks (hopefully none small enough to swallow!) and a terra cotta hide. I really don't want to mess this up for my first axolotl, so any tips or recommendations would be extremely welcome.

Looks good to me, I would suggest getting a thermometer to make sure you are able to maintain a temperature of 72 degrees or lower. The digital ones are better than the stick on ones and are pretty cheap too.

Thanks! I have a floater in there but it's a bit hard to see in the picture.
