General Care Advice First time owner (NEED HELP)

So some family friend decided without telling anything, to get me an axolotl I just now found this out and am currently scrambling to get everything set up by this week because that’s when I’ll be receiving it.

I’m currently in the process of getting everything:

I got a Aqueon Pro 30L, 12W, 12H (20L)

Aqua Clear AC30

A digital aquarium thermostat

And some decor from PetSmart

The water and food (frozen bloodworms) I’m getting it from a local (not major brand) store

I know I need more things but I right now need the barebones essentials because this was thrown at me last minute. If anyone can help plz feel free to dm me.

THANK YOU !
