What you have so far sounds good. What your missing though is
Heating / cooling
Return pump
Power heads
Ideally a lid
A method of dosing if you want LPS / SPS

And algae scrapers, nets, test kits, an RODI system with RODI reservoir and salt mixing reservoir, ( auto water change system would be really nice), quarantine tank, maybe a frag tank tied into your main system.
