I always like to bank off the forum when setting up a new tank because I often forget stuff. Building a 75g stand for a craigslist tank for my daughter for christmas. Incoming parts are:

Eheim Classic 2215 (92g)
Eheim Jager 300W heater (tank stays at 82* and house stays around 67* during winter)
black diamond 80 grit for substrate
storaged hagen lifego T5 light ficture
mag-float
some slate + clay pots
Thermometer

Anything I'm missing as far as basic equipment? Feel like I got it all.
 
I would add a power head for circulation, I use a 2217 on my 36g and it's just about right for that tank.
 
I would def add the Hob, AC110 be better than the 70.
 
I run, or ran nothing but AC110 for my 75,s along with canisters to re-leave the canister from doing the mech filtration, HoB allot easier to clean than a canister, and extends the time between canister cleaning, I cleaned the canisters every 3 to 4 months and never had any sludge buildup. every 2 weeks or so for the HoB,s

Since you already have it, definitely add it. The AC and 2215 should work well to keep that 75 adequately filtered
 
+1 on the power head/wavemaker
