Ok. You will need:
A tank ideally with a rimless top

Plants. Ask your lfs what are the easy ones.

Some substrate(I use kids plays sand) make sure to thoroughly rinse it though.

Some fish. A small amount to start off with. Depending on what size tank you decide to get.

Some plant fertilizer. I use Tropica fertilizer.

You may want root tabs for long rooted plants to help with growth in the sand.


Let me know what else I can help you with.

Do you think a 20 gallon (75 liter) tank would be good to start off with? Also thanks for all of the info! Very, very helpful.

I love reptiles! I don't have any though. I used to have a pet snake but it was a fox snake. I also have had some pet skinks.

What are skinks like?

Here's an excellent channel to take a look at.
There's so many things to think about that I can't really mention everything so it's best to watch some videos to help you.

Start off with something like 20-40 liters

You can get bigger if you want but personally I prefer smaller tanks because they're less maintenance, cheaper to set up and nicer looking more often than not.
You can fit them in smaller spaces as well.
