What other test do i need?

I have the Reefkeep lite(plus) with probes (pH probe,Temp)
Red Sea Pro (calcium,Alkalinity,Magnesium)

What test else would you recommend?

If possible i would like to stay with red sea. i'm new to this and not sure what other stuff i need to test for?


thanks Zach

 

Nitrate and phosphate, if you are starting a new tank ammonia and nitrite should be added to your list. I also recommend getting a refractometer to read your salinity.

 

i do have one of those refractometer.red sea pro has Nitrate and phosphate test kit but i heard that the phosphate kit was hard to read due to blue color shade issue? what test would you recommended that you used that was successfully

 

I have used both Seachem and API and they work fine.

 

Get yourself a Hanna Phosphate checker and a Salifert Nitrate test kit.

The Hanna is easy to use, and it'll actually give you an accurate low-res phosphate measurement.

 

+1 on the hanna checker, got mine coming in the mail today.

 

thank you for your advice
