should be A OKay
and good to go

check ammonia and nitrIte levels maybe twice a week for a couple weeks

also
always check fish behavior
...fish stressed from improperly filtered water
may
* gasp or breath heavily
* lay on bottom
or
* gulp air at top
* clamp fins
* not feed voraciously

mostly
don't worry about it
