Budgets are no fun but a necessary evil. Now if I could stay within mine it would be great. I went over this month because of a good deal on a light. Maybe that should be my new years resolution don't go over budget on my tanks.

List looks right, I can't think of anything else other than the test kit, but you said you have that already right?
You will probably have to get a ph test but here is a link to the cards for the api tests Downloads; Pump and filter Instructions, Test Kit charts they are pretty close.

I thought that the test kit for Freshwater and test kit for Saltwater weren't the same?

this is THE most helpful thread iv been on so far
u guys are wonderful and i am actually starting to prepare the tank for a big change.
i found this site that said he changed his 20g FW to a SW with corals fish etc, this is what he did:
- changed sand, 90% pf sand 10% live sand from lfs
- got 2 powerheads and refugium
- added ro/di water, started cycle on filter
- added base rock/ live rock
- bought 3 LED spotlights that had the sucking plastic things to stick them to tank walls etc
- tested tank and added fish/ corals when it was cycled.
the point i am making, is there were 3 LED spotlights that kept these fish and corals alive, while he still had the norm FW lights set up, so technically we could just stick an LED spotlight at each end of the tank and as long as they are powerful enough, the corals would be fine? logic works or no? x

They test for the same thing in the water, you will need a different ph test is all because of how high or low tests for. The colors differ slightly.

I had 5 cleaner shrimp and a pistol in my 125g with no hostility between them.
