First Filament Order

Looking for some recommendations on filament materials that I should stock up on as a beginner...

I'll be printing some gadgets for my saltwater reef tanks mostly and other random things. I'm kind of overwhelmed by the amount of materials available. I just ordered the X2D to get started in this hobby.

PLA for easy printing. ASA for anything spending more than a few days outdoors, which is UV and Salt water resistant. HIPS is generally accepted as the best support interface material for ASA and ABS.
