An old towel. A must IMO.

Eye dropper or syringe for the test kits.

Check valves for air pump/s

A couple of little things that are quite handy to have.

FYI, don't buy a bucket. You can get 5 gallon buckets for free from burger king and they come with a water tight lid. All you have to do is scrub them really well without detergent and you should be able to use them. (but they may smell like pickles for a while)

I hope your joking but just in case you aren't, its a chemical compound that people ingest orally to get rid of aches and pains, particularly effective on headaches.

It was an attempt at humor meaning owning a fish tank can cause headaches. Ignore it.
