The build was pretty simple, when you break it down. It took a while just with life stuff getting the way and I didn't do everything exactly to this order - adding floating plants before I was done sealing the edges, didn't do the final liner trim until very last etc., but this is the gist:
Personally i'm a Betta fan, so if you haven't ruled them out completely then here's my suggestion:
get the tank all set up except for plants and begin cycling. I suggest picking up Seachem's Prime for a dechlorinator (it's cheaper in the long run since it's more concentrated and it has some other benefits. This specific bottle treats ~2,500 gallons). You will also want to order the API master test kit if you don't have it yet.
If you want a short cycle try Seachem's Stability to quickly establish the proper cycle and/or get some filter media (the brown gunk) from a friend or LFS. Proper cycling can take weeks to months on a new tank.
Once the tank is established (or before if you're treating with stability) get some good low-light plants like anubias (these are especially good for Betta's, with their broad leaves) and java fern. Mosses are good too. Keep an eye out for pond snails which can easily overtake a tank. Driftwood or other decor can go in now too, get all your aquascaping done before you add any fish.
Now, with the tank all set up and cycled (keep that bacteria fed w/ fish food or pure ammonia) you can go and get your fish. If you are worried about aggression and still want a Betta bring along a small mirror. You can some idea about the fish's temperament, but this test is imperfect. I have a male that flares at anything that moves, but I housed him with both shrimp and Otos (my sorority ate the shrimp when I had them in there) and he just ignored them.
Even if you have an aggressive Betta getting a larger mystery or nerite snail will make that a moot point, since they have thick protective shells. Some Bettas will attack them a little, but when they get no reaction they will get bored and eventually learn to live in peace with it. (contrary to popular belief Bettas can be fantastic in a community tank, not all females are docile little angels, and not all males are ruthless killing machines. There are always some aggressive Bettas, but generally they are only aggressive towards other Bettas and fish that look similar. Note that if you have fancy male guppies then a female Betta is a better option)
