Sounds like you're on your way. I'd agree about a big water change to lower nitrates in the beginning if you can, but I'd never recommend a 100% water change.
Also, important part of setting up a new tank in Valdosta, a big pile of Smokn Pig. My favorite BBQ joint for south-eastern/deep south style BBQ. I've had friends FedEx it to me, or pick it up for me and bring it back any time they're driving up I75 or visiting Tallahassee. MMmmm MMmmm good.
Good luck with the tank!
