I’ve taken the plunge in starting a saltwater tank. Right now I’m cycling my 40 gallon tank, but I’m not sure what tests I need to do weekly and other saltwater terminology ( dosing, cycling).

@JAC- is right, if your saltwater setup is going to have corals then you'll also be testing other things... Some days I feel more like a chemist than a reef keeper LOLWelcome friend not trying to disagree with our friend @Fish Think Pink but, you will definitely want to consider alkalinity, magnesium, and calcium if you plan on keeping corals. You'll need something to check salinity no mater what. I recomend anything other than API as soon as the budget allows.
