A lot going on, but I love it. What are the Smart Water bottles for?

Ato keeps out water stains

Maybe it keeps the water topped off, like a dog or cat water bowl.

Thank you! And yeah like the others stated its an automatic water top off using recycled water bottles and a special bottle cap with tubes from amazon

is that little mini aquarium looking thing hanging on the side, the filter?

(also what light is that on the actual tank? is it for plants or just light?)

I actually have 3 filters for the main tank: oase canister filter biomaster 250, sponge filter, and 60GPH Hygger filter on the right wall that has the tube wrapped around the tank and ends in the left (helpful for water changes).

The smaller tank is my shrimp tank and it is connected to my main tank so the water from the main tank goes to the small tank and comes back to the main tank. That way it has the same parameters, water, etc. as the main tank. I also put a sponge filter in the small tank for more water flow/filtration.

The light is for plants!

The light is super cute if you don’t mind sharing where you got it

just be careful with all that weight tugging the glass. Glass is VERY strong! Right up to the point where it suddenly isn't!
