Definitely not cycled, but far ahead of the game than most.

You will definitely experience diatoms or possible Dyno's

Also, the sand won't be able to denitrify for a few months until it seeds from the rock.

So, I would be careful on the fish additions. If you put 2 clowns in there and keep on water changes for the first 3-4 weeks, you should be good to go.

Tell me about it - I did the same thing with my son (8) with an AP 24 - 2 weeks and a pair of clowns later. Tanks is running perfect, but I kept up on the water changes for the first few weeks.

Nice work and good for you getting your daughter into it at that age.

Congrats
