Kind of a big question, have you searched at all?
City water or well water?
City water may be treated with either chlorine or chloramine, find that out first.
You will have to condtion the water before entry.
Your must either be drilled or utilize a sump system. You need water to passively overflow out of the system, fail safe by drilling and NOT using an over rim overflow.
You need to know how much water you want per day.
You need access to your drain line in your house or you can drain to outdoors or to a basement sump system.

There are already a lot of threads with pics on the forum. What I did was take the information I could from the threads and did my absolute best to figure out as much as possible on my own.Any other questions I had, I pm'd a few members and they were nice enough to answer them. When I first started it seemed like a lot to do, but in actuallity it was not all that difficult. Feel free to PM me with any specific questions you may have.

So I say 30glns a day, 7 days a week
check out dosmatic http://www.dosmatic.com/index.php?page=index
get a small unit i mix water and prime to dilute the prime...........run the output into the tank and the overflow outside/sewer/plants etc
adjust the flow as needed..........add more prime and water to the input container as needed
on a larger scale i use a 40 gallon trash can w/ 800ml prime running the dosmatic at 0.5% makes 8000 gallons of water
