Lurk, ask questions, educate yourself about your intended pet,  the Grammostola porteri ( Chilean rose hair tarantula). It is a very nice tarantula.  Fairly slow grower. Side note, there are also G. rosea which are Chilean Rose tarantulas that historically some have thought the same species but that are  considered distinct.And there are many other sources as well. Check out the podcasts and YouTube channel Tom's Big Spiders by Tom Moran. I believe he had a rosea for a long time and she lived a long life.The tank you bought is quite large  (20x10x12H) except for perhaps an adult female. Is that your intention? Adult females may be hard to find and expensive.</blockquote>
