I have orca beneficial bacteria and silver bullet but I'm not confident to put them in yet. Cal mag also on standby

Should I get any other nutrients/chemicals ready?

Your either live or sterile. If your running microbes you should start day one in my opinion.

Sterile should require uv light and retention time with no light leaks. Low Temps and chiller too for sterile.

Live should require bacteria and enzymes. This also can run at most Temps. My res got up to 75 and my roots were still white white.. . I love my microbes that's for sure.

I'm not an expert that's for sure. I just know the colonies are what's keeping me afloat. I would suggest its hard to run a sterile so just start with microbes. Once you get root rot it's dumb. The bacteria will probably vent that so.. Yea..

Perhaps someone will educate us both better.

I would add the cal/mag with the Base line up too.
