What test do you do

What perimeter test do you guys do and how often

 

[MJSerik]

I test for everything daily/ every other day. The only thing it can hurt is your wallet.

 

[Dan-iow]

What are the main thing you test for, I used to take mine to shop and they did it all and just said if it was fine or not, didn't say what they where testing

Disregarding fishless cycling, i test when i think theres a problem. I should probably test more but i believe i would be able to tell in the behavior of my fish if anything was wrong. There's no chance of my nitrates building as funnily enough i preform water changes every second day.

Every other day, you must be buying replacement testing kits every month.

 

[MJSerik]

Yep. That's why it hurts the wallet. Usually I use test strips for the daily. I use the master kit on weekends So I guess I don't really test for everything.

I have a API saltwater master kit - it has ammonia, nitrites (I only used for cycling) high range ph and nitrates. I only test ph, nitrates and phosphates now, once a week.

 

[Mebbid]

I weekly test nitrates, alkalinity, pH, Calcium, and Phosphate.

 

[Dan-iow]

I got the reef master test kit API

That dose
Calcium (CA2)
Carbonate hardness (KH)
Phosphate (PO43-)
Nitrate (NO3-)

I thought there should be more testing than this, or is this normal?

I thought there would be more to be testing. ?
