help i got question

Sounds a little steep. I have a "reef test kit" that includes calcium, carbonate hardness, phosphate, and nitrate for $35. I also have a pH test that cost 8. I also have an ammonia and nitRITE test. Hmmm, so that's like 8 tests, and at $11 a pop...you see where I am going with this...haha..most definetly an expensive hobby this is.

I will also buy a couple more tests once I move up to keeping corals. Tests such as magnesium, iodine, etc.
Temperature and SALT(sG or salinity in other words) is important as well.

Any other coral=keepers feel free to add what you test for here....

 

I test for:

ammonia
nitrite
nitrate
phosfate
calcium
ph
salinity
carbonite hardness
magnesium
strontium
iodine

If I ever see more when Im at the LFS Ill be right on top of it.
