When you say Size: gallon
What do you mean 1 gallon you will never get 6 plants in a 1 gallon container.
Had a quick look at the air pump and i think you might need a bigger one depending on the size of your tub, but more bubbles the better.
Tds meter for sure
Other than that your basically there.
Make sure your tub is light proof so the roots dont get any light. If it isn't make it so by either painting or black bag will do.

if i were you id save alil money and skip buying the 1 gallon size of grow. you bearly use any of that stuff at all. (i use none at all) but if anything just get a quart size. alot of the online stores will let you get 2 micro and 1 bloom inplace of the 3 parter for the same price. youll use alot more micro than anything else.
GT is right the more air the better. if your planing on useing something like a 20 gallon tote the 24" air curtains work a lot better than 12" air stones, and will last alot longer.
oh and rockwool is a good thing to have around too.
