Yikes. thanks for that. I have a small cut on my finger right now, and was doing maintenance yesterday. I washed it and put neosporin on it afterwards. Hope that works.
Welcome to AC, John.
I think some of the confusion here is that you posted in the "general marine/newbie" sub-forum. "Marine" in this case means Salt Water. It sounds like you want to start off with a fresh water tank. I believe there's a separate sub-forum for freshwater tanks. Maybe a mod...

apologies if this was already posted somewhere. Thought it might be of interest!
I have jungle val for the back and dwarf sag for the front. I don't have enough to fill two 55 gallons. the Val grows pretty fast, the sag would take some time to fill in (though not as long as other things.) I could give you 10 of each for $25 shipped
More updates
Another update for no good reason. I've added some fish in the past few months, and gone through a fight with ich. Not sure I'm entirely in the clear from that yet.
So now there are 4 glowlight tetras and 2 harlequin rasboras, in addition to the fish I already had in there...
