welcome to the forum! nice fish and tank! only thing i can point out is that it looks like the tank can tip over since both sides are hanging over the edge of the stand.. be careful that no one tips that over..

Yea ading your right its only temp til next week when I get my real stand. Also is the 2 fluval 70s enough for the jack and oscar? I know Oscars do have a big bioload but it's just them. Also does anybody know why my fish are super active only when I walk away from the tank lol

The Fluval (Aquaclear) 70's are good filters. I personally run a 70 and 110 on my 55, but your stock load is relatively light. I think you'd be okay.

As far as the fish only being active when you walk away, it's my experience that it is an instinctual thing when you only have 1 or 2 cichlids in a tank by themselves. They're staying out of sight so they are safe. I've had good luck by adding some smaller, active fish (tetras, danios, barbs) that are out and about. It will make the cichlids more comfortable.
