We all know Hanna test kits are not cheap. If you had to buy one or two of them, which would you prioritize for a cycled, but very new reef tank?

I stopped using them (too expensive) and got Salifert test kits. Not quite as nice as you have to read it off a color chart, but accurate enough and far less expensive.

Alkalinity would be my number one. After that nitrate and phosphate. Not a fan of calcium and haven’t tried magnesium.
