New Aquarist from way back.
Hello everyone. I am a 37 y/o guy that is about to set up a 36 gallon freshwater aquarium with his 13 y/o daughter. I am as confused about aquariums as I am about 13 y/o daughters so any help will be greatly appreciated. Please be patient, as I am sure I will post many stupid questions. I look forward to learning all that I can and contributing when possible.

Thank you. We are going to pick up the new aquarium Monday. It is an Aqueon 36 gallon bowfront with stand and hood. We have chosen an Aqua Clear power filter for 20-50 gallons, a Top Fin heater rated at 200 watts, a Tetra Whisper 60 air pump as well as a few round airstones by Top Fin and and old school glass thermometer. We haven't decided on our background or our gravel and decorations as of yet. I know that we need a timer and surge protector strip as well as airline, tees and a vacuum and I welcome suggestions. Have I missed anything other than fish food and a net?

Welcome to the community
The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of the act

You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
