well I will be as soon as I get a stand then a tank..

It's not gonna be a big tank just something small to start 20g or so..It's for my 6 year old boy who has wanted a tank for couple years now, so as I'm reading the posts it seems more complicated then I thought cycling, ammonia levels etc...If I get everything new how long till I can put fish in the tank? And is there a good book I can buy to get me started, what kind of lights are in those glo tanks? hmm if anyone has any ideas I'd appreciated it thanks
