Great list. You can never have too many spare plumbing parts either. #1 is something I try and stress with people. I've heard so many people complain about getting zapped when they put their hand in their tank. Well, get a GFCI and save your life and some pain. They're only about $15.
 
Extra water, heater,pump

Patience is the ability to endure waiting, delay, or provocation without becoming annoyed or upset, or to persevere calmly when faced with difficulties.
 
Yep thats why its number one I've seen two cases here localy one the guy lost his house the other he was lucky in the fact that the tank water put fire out and just ruined his hard wood floors but still 4000.00 or more in damages if they'd had a proper working GFCI I wouldnt be mentioning them.

a good skimmer & backup pump are a must as well
