I would use Salifert or API kits.
If your starting a new tank you will need. Thermometer Refractometer & calibration fluid handheld PH probe w/ calibration fluid or a ph test kit Plus the following test kits: Ammonia Nitrate Nitrites AlK If your planning to keep a reef tank you might as well go ahead and pick up some additional test kits: Magnesium Calcium Phosphate |
