3feetx18inchx18inch is a nice size for a planted aquarium
for filter there are many in different budget ehiem 2217 is nice and a trusted brand
for this size of tank
then second important is light u will be needing around 4x36 watts for this size
substrate again depends on your budget two ways to go either diy or ada
and please update your location

1) external filter

Depends on your budget. Ehiem 2217 is best as suggested by Aamir.

2) oxygen Machine

No need in a planted tank.

3) heater

Ehiem, aquaone are good brands.

4) co2

Go for a Aluminium cylinder. They are reliable, good looking and compact.

5) gravel cleaner

No need.

6) sand

You need decorative sand as per layout.

7) lighting

T5 or LEDs are best.

8) Fertilizers

DIY or branded depends on your budget.

9) Substrate

DIY or branded, depends on your pocket

10) Ornaments

You can use rocks, woods etc.

11) cleaning and trimming equipment

You need tweezers, scissors etc.

12) medicines

Never thought about medicines.

Best of Luck.
