Questions about setting up a new habitat

[4HFrogMomma]

Hi froggy friends, My name is Tanya, and my son Gavin is reading and writing with me. He is 10, and is doing frog care for his 4-H project. We are getting ready to purchase a set up for a ACF (dwarf) tank. We are looking for any information on how to set up a brand new tank. We are going tomorrow to buy a 10 gallon tank. We have well water, and live in central Florida. What do we need to do to the water? How long does the tank need to cycle? What can I do to cycle it when we have nothing at all? Sand or aquarium gravel for the bottom?

Any information would be greatly appreciated. We have spent hours reading websites, but all give different information.
