haha, just make sure you let your tank cycle for 4 to 6 weeks before adding any fish and, i have a question do you know how to cycle and make sure when you get the tank you put up a list of things that came with it and we can help you to find things you will need to further you in this hobby and to keep your tank healthy for year to come
 
Ok well I got my fish tank last week I think? Sorry my computer's mother board broke and I finally bought a new computer. I have a 50 gallon fish tank. I accidently left the lid there an hour and a half away I’m not going back.
So here is my list of what I need to buy if anyone has anything to say that I don’t need or I can get cheaper PLEASE say! I want to save as much money as possible.

Buy the heater at Fosters and Smith too. It is way cheaper. Also, if you use the CK code in front of the filter number instead of the YL, you can get the AC110 for 33.99.
 
Congrats on getting your first tank! Post pictures when you go pick it up! Good job not wanting to cut corners with your equipment, you'll be glad you didn't later on. Stay on here and your next tank will be a 180 and the next a 500. Before you know it you'll be building 10,000 gallon ponds in your backyard and using the 500 as a growout and the 50 as a feeder tank lol!
 
I picked it up about a month ago. Sadly my sister has control issues with her camera and I haven’t been on for a while I apologies. Here are the pictures.
