Testing but what not

[mraysberg]

Tanks been up and cycled for a month now. People say that nitrite isn’t really needed for reef tanks because it’s more for freshwater. I still test for ammonia, nitrite and for a few weeks now testing for phosphate. Wondering what else I should start testing for.

Current livestock 2 clowns, nassarius snails, some shrooms, lps, 2 sps and a nem. Everything has been fine and looking healthy.

Not sure I’ve ever tested for ammonia but I do test every month for calcium and alkalinity which always requiring dosing adjustments.

I don't test for ammonia either after my tank is cycled. I would test salinity and nitrates to make sure those are good. You can also test mag, calcium, alk or phos as well if you want to!
