Fluoride Filter

With a big tank like that I would suggest getting a fancy syphon setup like a Python system. A bucket is fine for water changes with a 20gal tank, but carrying buckets of water for a large water change in a 100gal tank gets old fast. Get a couple of new buckets that you only use for the fish tank too.

You will also want a couple of nets, and I suggest a good magnetic glass cleaner to remove algae from the glass. Get one that floats, otherwise it can be a pain to get the sunken one out of a big tank if you loose it.

But those are all minor bits and pieces, you have all the expensive bits covered.

Good luck, sounds like a very nice setup you are getting.

You should ideally have everything listed on here: http://www.fishlesscycling.com/articles/new_aquarium_needs.html

Which it seems like you do. Good luck with your aquarium!

E-mail me for any questions!

I see live plants on your list, will this be a planted tank or are the plants just for sparsely decorating? If it is a planted tank, you might want to spend more on a lighting system(3watts per gallon), CO2 system(very expensive) and fertilizers(both liquid and for the substrate). If you want to spend less, just buy silk plants instead of the live plants. As to your other equipment, you should buy two heaters in case one will fail. You also need the maintenance tools, magnetic algae scraper, 5 gallon bucket, fish net, etc. Well, other than that the only other expenses next are the fish and the fish food. Good luck and happy fishkeeping!

Maybe some fish? haha. you might also want a thermometer to make sure you tank doesn’t get to hot.
