water tests ?

[daytonaconnecti]

what are the main, or needed water tests, that need to be ck, to maintain a general tank no mater what you are keeping in it, or add to it later....

 

[mmkeeper]

ph. Hardness, Ammonia, Nitrate, Nitrite.

 

[NaH2O]

I agree, however, if you keep skeleton building corals, then add Calcium to the list. Once my tank was stable, I rarely tested for ammonia, or nitrite....but have them on hand. pH, Alk, Ca, Nitrate, Nitrite, and ammonia for general tank tests.

In my order of preference... temp, salinity (using a refractometer), alk, ca, mg, ph, nitrAte and just incase keep amm and nitrIte.
