The API Master FW kit is pretty good and reasonably priced. (~$20).
A fully cycled aquarium will show 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and some nitrate. The link below is a thread I wrote when I was bored and feeling long winded.
I just learned about cycling but I already have fish. What now?!

If you are going to a petsmart, look online at petsmart.com and get there prices and then print out a copy of the product and price thne take that to the store with you they have to price match and there price online is a lot cheaper. Good Luck

The best investment I think you might want to make would be a Python No Spill water change kit. It makes it easy to do large water changes which are definitely recommended, but very hard to do with buckets for a tank of the size you're getting. You can wait and order online to save a couple bucks, but honestly you may want it today.

Great recommendation! It does depend (unfortunately) on the individual store though.
