I'm currently in the process of making the switch from city to well water. In the past 10 years at my current residence have never had sulfur in my well water so I figure its gotta be pretty safe for my fish. I can do the basic tests myself.
Ph, ammo, no2-,no3-,copper,gh,kh. Those are the tests I currently own.
I will be purchasing calcium, iron, phosphate tests soon as I am about to be dosing ferts in my planted tank. what else should I test for? Would I be better off sending it out to be tested? If so what tests should I request to have ran?
 
I have my well water tested yearly thought the local township, the test is free and a complete analysis is given. They test for everything from pesticides to radium then a detailed water chemistry breakdown is provided, I'd start there.
