I have this empty ten galon (by empty i mean empty, not even out of the box) and I want to start cycling it so I could get fish before the end of the year. What products do I have to get for the cycling?

filter, heater, liquid test kits for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and PH, a jug of clear ammonia, and a tube/bucket or gravel vac system to help you do water changes.
if you also want to buy biospira, then you can get fish right away. otherwise, cycling takes several weeks.

If you buy bio spira, I highly advise against adding fish afterwards, until you have tested it (add some ammonia, see how long it takes for amm. and nitrite to reach zero) to make sure you didn't get a bad batch. Otherwise, you could end up being captive to daily water changes and testing to save your fish.
