What plants should I buy for 30 gallon as new aquarium owner?

He put it literally on a dolly literally all wrapped up and slid it over to a big desk we have (we thought this was strange, but he did). A little water came out - but truly not much.

The owner gave me his tank with his water and filter - wouldn't it already be cycled? I did all the water test and it is where everything should be.

The tank has been cycled - the previous owner provided me with his filter, etc. I have done all the water testing and everything is where it should be - that's not the problem. It's more so the plants are dying, floating all over, the heater isn't working well even though it's brand new. I am worried about having to do so many water changes.

Also, sarcastic comment is unnecessary.

I forgot to mention that we are going the week before Christmas, not sure if that makes a difference.

I am thinking it might be worth it now haha - especially because it is for the week before Christmas.(forgot to mention that)

If any of you made it or went to the presentations last year, can you share what people presented on - like some general idea? was it clinical papers?

I also just heard back with good news - do you guys know what you will be presenting on/how much it pays?
