the rocks he gave you and probably the gravel will alter the ph and hardness alot if you decide to keep them. if you keep the gravel and rocks then youll need hardwater fishes. probably put some kind of water movement to stimulate a river.alot of african ciclids are great hard water fishes . if you dont want it, then go with what you want lake they sid any salt will be miniscule if you clean it properly. you can try putting a school of tinfoils or balasharks. tinfoils are pretty cheap fish and grow very fast and large. but are masive eatting machines. pacus are also pretty cheap and get huge.

becareful somtimes the seals on a tank will become weak if left dry for along time. and switching from salt to fresh also weakens the seals for some reason. (happened to my small 10g sick tank)
