iv got a full tank setup and i no u need ph testing kits etc but what else should i buy just incase. Teatments and tests only please.

so far i have a ph test, nitrite test, and desiese treatments
 
I would get an ammonia and nitrite test kit. Personally, I wouldn't stock up on medicines for diseases and wait until you need them to buy them. :)

IMO only, I would just get an ammonia and nitrite test kit if you are starting to cycle a tank. If you are unsure of your pH I would get one of them also so you can make sure it's close to being the same as where the fish came from.

What is basic tank crap? If you don't have fish in it and are cycling it, I wouldn't worry about adding any conditioner to it.

Even when you do have fish it's only necessary to have a dechlorinator. If you want to use conditioners then that's ok if it works for you but just telling you what the essentials are. :)
 
Absolutely the only test kits which are essential are pH, ammonia, nitrite. And only buy chemicals when you need them. I don't actually use declorinator I do it the natural way (Let it sit for a day). I always have this water ready for an emergency. ;)
