How about basics?

Equipment, filtration, lighting... what makes for a good freshwater setup?

I'm getting my freshwater feet wet again, so starting right at the beginning would be a benefit to me.

just about anything is fine with me! i have a lot of holes in my knowledge base on FW that need to be filled.

i like the basics idea.

do different bio-types require different setups?

Well I would say that serious discus setups are different than typical community tanks, then again large cichlids are hell on UGF, Wet/dry works for these, then you have the Rift Lake biotope . Hows that for starters
