I was originally gonna start this as a poll but then I realized it would require way too many fields.
I noticed recently on a few posts particularly, something went wrong in the tank from the OP and when asked about the tank parameters. I was amazed at the low level of testing, for example i don't test this or that.
So I'm curious to ask a broader spectrum what you test for and how often?
To start
Salinity - once weekly with water change
Alk,calc, mag - weekly with water change or unless consumption has changed
Nitrate, phosphate - weekly with water change or unless reduction means has changed
Ammonia and nitrate - never after initial cycle unless something is very wrong
Full triton test - every 3 months
