Setting up planted tank in 3-4 weeks.

hey im in the middle of purchasing a fluval fx5(only got 250Au to pay off ). i will then be gathering the stuff for the tank. i have decide on a 2.5x2.5x2.25H tank(feet). i will use a set of metal halides. a milwakee ph controller a milwakee thing on top of bottle. some sort of substrate with dupla stuff as well and ferts.

i basically need to know names for the following stuff(brand wise)

Ph controller by milwakee(need a model name)
The needle valve buble counter thing on top of bottle by milwakee(need model name)
Where to get mh bulbs at a suitable Kelvin rating(online wise)
a brand of substarte
the best material for the co2 tubing

I don't use a pH controller, I don't really see the need. This site here
has other stuff you'll need though, like: CO2 resistant tubing, a bubble counter, brass check valve, etc.

For substrate, I prefer eco-complete. If you can get soil master select is Australia, then it's a good option too, and a lot cheaper.
