I don’t know what filters or air pumps I need to maintain a freshwater aquarium. I want to do as little maintenance as possible. Biological, mechanical, chemical filters????? Could you give me a specific example of which ones (with brand names) to get that work together well in keeping the water clean and clear?? I understand the temperature and the nitrification and ph and all that, I just don’t know what filters and pumps to use. It is a 20 gallon tank.

I searched online and found some recommended salt for marine fish.
As of now I only have aquarium salt for freshwater fish.
However, the guy at the store said that table salt is fine.
