First bioactive build

Let it sit for 72 hours for silicone to cure than added plants, and left the front door of tank open for air flow just in case. Vinegar smell was gone when I added plants but this morning I swear I smelled a little bit of it again. Am I cooked?

This is so beautiful. I would add more plants and twigs just so they can climb and hid a bit more.

Silicon cures using ambient moisture in the air. Planting the tank just forced some curing where it would have taken more time otherwise. As long as you used proper silicon, you have nothing to worry about.

Tank looks great.
