I havn't kept fish for a few years now but buying the aquarium is only the first step. W will need a filter and pump, lighting and a good supply of the burrowing type of snails. I used to find that, providing you do not overstock with fish, after a reasonable time the water will get into balance and you will not have to clean the water/glass for a long time.
Technology has moved on a great deal since I last kept them so possibly more updated advice will be available. Whatever you do first read up with a couple of good books.

Best bet if you decide to start fish keeping is to join a fish/reef keeping forum (similar to this one).

First decide on what you want to keep IE Cold water/tropicals/Malawi's/marines etc etc then find a specific forum for that kind of livestock.

Also best as mentioned to get a few good 'up to date' books a read read read, as knowing first will save you cash & livestock/upset in the long run.

Maybe a dumb question, but may I ask why this post/thread has been moved?, as with lidl's deals being weekly & the best thing's usually gone in 24hrs I would have considered the original forum to be the correct one (Grab it now)??.

Sorry if i have missed something, but I have read the stickies first.

MSE policy for supermarket deals to be on shop'n drop, I havent quite figured that out yet as it seems to ignore electrical items.
