Aquarium Setup 1

So you have bought an aquarium kit and wonder how to keep your fish alive this time. Here's what you need to do:
1. Add water (de-chlorinate tap water or use bottled)
2. Add gravel (gravel supports nitrifying bacteria which remove amonia from your aquarium)
3. Add plants (plants use nitrates as food which are the byproduct of nitrifying bacteria)
4. Let it run for at least a day to allow nitrifying bacteria to get into your tank.

That's it for the setup portion. Next we need fish.
