Okay here is your list:

Water
- salt (lots to choose from)
- refractometer or a dialed in hydrometer. Refractometer is more acurate.
- testkits, many people seem to like the salifert brand. For just starting out, you'll need; ammonia, nitrate, nitrite. Eventually for a reef tank you should have calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium. Some people test for more parameters, but these are the basics.

Lighting
- Since you mentioned you want a full reef tank you have lots of options. In essence you are going to want to consider T5s, or Metal halide lighting. You - you may want to do supplemental lighting for color
- you may also consider moonlighting for evening or after dark lighting.

The tank:
- You said no bigger the 100g. Is the size of the display you are stating, or the overall system?

Is this the type of list your looking for?
