Need help

Got a 60 gallon build in sump, with return pump, protein skimmer, waver maker, heater. What else do I need before I purchase the sand, the rocks and the water

For starters a stand to set it on, some lighting which will be dependant on what you intend to keep, skimmer is optional but most people(myself included) regard them as necessary.

Then once things get going you will need RO/DI for long term success and also testing equipment to check and maintain proper water parameters, again somewhat dependant on what type of system you chose to go with.

Clean the tank. Check tank for leaks, bubbles anything unusual. Paint the back if you like. Buff tank to remove scratches if any. Pick a good spot in your house.
