    I only tested for nitrates (the end of the nitrogen cycle) after my tank cycled or around 60 days. I did a lot of ph testing but it keeps reading 8.3 so I stopped. Testing is good especially if you want to keep your corals healthy and keep your system with low nutrient.

    Fishes which are not reef friendly can also be interesting, if not great! Besides they have lower maintenance cost (reef lighting is one of the fastest way to be poor)

    The Seachem line of test kits is convenient, inexpensive for the most part and fairly easy to use. The iodine test kits requires you to use distilled water though...
