I have mainly LPS (zoas, acans, Duncan, candy cane and hammer). I want to get one SPS frag. Will I be ok with weekly / bi-weekly water changes for the SPS or will I have to dose?

I asked a friend and he said I would be ok with just water changes with a single SPS frag but wanted to double check here.

My tank parameters are below;
Red Sea blue bucket salt
Sg: 1.026
Ca: 400
dKH: 7
Mg: 1320
NitrATes: <5ppm
 
Yeah with just one frag you will be totally fine with wager changes. Unless you have a massive amount of coralline. What’s your PO4 at?

That I don’t know. I’ve searched for a good kit but didn’t find one that really stood out like other parameter test kits.

I was thinking of just going with the cheap salifert? Any other kit I should look at?

Would recommend the Hanna ulr for PO4
 
Salifert kits are fine for everything but Hanna is better for po4 if your one of us that thinks po4 should be low.
