Converting to a planted tank

Placing some orders need advice

Well I'm ordering a glass top. A new thermometer since the last one I had fell and broke when i pulled it out, and a pre filter that will hopefully fit my HOB filter. What else do you think I need? aside from the obvious ie: plants and just forgetting the DIY and ordering a pressurized CO2:feedback:
 
Placed new order

Glass top
New Thermometer
Some root tabs and other ferts (trying to figure out what would work)
A Sponge pre filter
Some tools for my plants
Driftwood (Hopefully it looks like the pic)

:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap::clap: I'm soooo close.


Should I buy another tank to place my fish while I'm planting it or should I just plant around them?:nilly:
