Default Prepping for new tank

So here it goes, I think I’ve got the wife convinced to upgrade to a bigger tank and I’m compiling a list of “must haves” for this new tank. So I’m looking for suggestions on what everyone would have for their must haves for equipment and their reasons as to why. So far my thought for water movement is a pair of mp40s. I’m just going to run an eshoppes dosing pump as I’ve already got that. And wel that’s about where my list runs dry. Show what’s everyone’s must haves for........

Water movement
Lighting
Controllers/monitors
ATO
Reactors

This build will be for a 100 to 120 gallon set up

i have a couple evergrow 48" controllable LED lights best colors ive ever had.
I LOVE my apex and wouldnt set up another tank without one
I run 2 little fish reactors with rowaphos all the time and intermittently run carbon in the 2nd

I run an ATO with a 50 ml/min peristaltic pump on a timer from the apex takes a while to figure out your top off but I put very little faith in $6 float switches.
I have a 15G top off container and my sump has 15G of room so even it was full and the apex failed and stuck on I wouldnt overflow unless my return failed at the same time and I didnt notice.

I completely agree with the Evergrow light fixtures. I had one in my last tank and it was awesome. Great colors, growth and the control over the spectrum was great.

If you get MP40's, make sure you get the new quiet drive versions.
