12 MUST HAVES for starting up a Fresh Water Aquarium

This is a very short video that covers the absolute basic items that you will need if you want to start up your very own aquarium.

If you didn't catch it in the video here is the list:
1-Aquarium (comes in quite handy).
2-Adequate sized filter and extra filter media.
3-A proper hood with hinged lid.
4-Adequate heater (not needed with cold water aquariums).
5-Gravel Vacuum or Python.
6-A never been used before 5 gallon bucket or bottle.
7-Liquid Testing Kits for Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate and pH.
8-Good Water conditioner and de-chlorinator in one.
9-Algae Scrubber/Scraper.
10-Fish Net (not too big unless you plan on getting huge fish).
11-Fish Food (specific for the type of fish you are going to get).
12-Gravel and other Decor (no sea shells or that crappy grape twine stuff).

If you feel like I have left something out, feel free to comment or message me here on youtube. Hopefully this will be helpful to some of you.

no really i thought you just put the water on the floor and get the fish and wish them the best of luck lol

@HEAVYMETALGODS86feb9 I do appreciate sarcasm, but you must believe that many people don't even know what they actually need when starting up.
