My grandfather had a lot of fish tanks when he was a kid , he gave me one 15 gallons or lower and it came with gravel, filter,lid and lighting. What do I need to start a freshwater tank because my expertise is in saltwater

Saltwater and freshwater aquariums are different enough that I would recommend visiting a freshwater aquarium site instead of asking for freshwater advice on a saltwater aquarium site.
Cycle the tank with zebra if the tank was not used for a while. Personally, I like to use penguin bio wheel system to filter. Algae can grow on the wheel.
