I've made a list of testing equipment to buy before starting my first (nano) tank. What do you think? Is this a good list? Am I missing anything or should I get a different version of any of these tests?
Salinity: refractometer (e.g. this) plus calibration solution
Alkalinity: Hanna
Temp: $6 amazon digital thermometer (do I need this if I'm planning on getting an inkbird heater controller?)
Nitrate: Nyos
Phosphate: Nyos
Calcium: Salifert
Magnesium: Salifert
I have API ammonia and nitrite tests already. I know they're not great but I'm used to using them and I won't be testing for either of these very often.
