First things first, you'll need to research fishless cycling. While that's starting, you can add the gravel and decorations.

Also, welcome to the forum!

Hi there, welcome to the forum.

1st things 1st. If you have a 90gallon tank, it will certainly NEED some kind of stand. Weather its a homemade or 1 from a pet store. 90gallons of water will flatten a desk. A desk might be able to hold 90ltrs, bit not gallons.

There is a good beginers guide in the welcome part of this forum that has some great information on starting a new freshwater tank. I have used this myself many times.

Hope to see and read on your progress
