Best to start with a clear idea of:
1) Desired size of your tank
2) What kind of set up are you looking at? i.e. How much water to land ratio and how high the water?
3) What plants would you like inside?
4) What animals would you like inside?
5) What are the other accessories do the tank need such as filter, water pump, glass covers, silicone, background, clay pellets, soil, the required plants and animals, wood, lighting etc etc... And where to find them.
All of the stuff should be ready and on hand before the water goes in and the plants. Animals should go in last and it is recommended to wait till the plants establish in a month or more.
