No but you will need a filter and a air pump to circulate and oxygenate the tank. Gravel is optional but I prefer not to use it because it traps the feces and access food. You will also need a syphon, and a scrubber to clean the tank. You should clean the tank about once every few weeks or when it gets cloudy. When you clean your tank you will probably notice that the water is still a little cloudy but it's ok because you won't be able to get the tank completely clean.

How do you tell if your water tank is water logged and what are the symptoms of the water well pump if this occurs?

if your water tank is water logged the pump will kick on almost immediatly when the water tap is opened, and will kick off shortly after it is closed. Water cannot be compressed. The air inside the tank allows the pump to "catch up" and shut off while the water is in use, and allows for a steady flow of water at similar pressures.

Can not having an air pump kill your aquarium fish?

if you have 1 or 2, then no. just dont put a tight cover on the cage because the fish use our oxygen from the top of the water to breathe. if you have a bunch of fish,you might need one. :) It is possible your fish will not survive without the pump. It depends on what you are using to induce air into the water. There are some varieties of fish that do not need a pump such as gold fish and bettas. Call your local Pet store for more information when in doubt. Most fish tank kits come with a pump included. Technically, the "air pump" is not necessary at all; oxygen does not get into the water from the bubbles. What the bubbles really do is cause the water to circulate, bringing water up from the bottom of the tank to the top of the tank where it can pick up oxygen from the air. Any other method of circulating the water in the tank would work just as well.
