As long as you're doing regular water changes, you should be OK.

A Python is a good thing to help with water changes.

You may need long-handled scrapers or a magnetic glass cleaner to help if it's a deep tank.

I agree, regular water changes are the most important part. As long as you're doing that you should be fine. Although if you ever see a good deal on a spare heater or filter, it's not a bad thing to have an extra on hand. By the time you notice one has broken, it may have been out for a few hours already, so it's nice to be able to just plug the new one in rather than driving to the LFS. These things always seem to happen to us at 11:00 p.m. on New Year's Eve.

You are going to have trouble soon enough. Your fish count is way too high!!

Good point sinasster. Just noticed the arowana. Do you know what species you have kb951? Most species get to be 3 or 4 feet long and are very "dirty" fish for their size. Lots of water changes necessary to keep nitrates down. You need a swimming pool!
