i will be placing an order at www.seame.com/int tomorow for salifert test kits, but am unsure as to which ones are really necessary.
i intend on a low bioload (only a couple of fish. corals include BTA, Lobophytum, daisy coral etc. no acros.) this is what is in my shopping cart:
AMMONIA 7,00
NITRITE 6,00
CALCIUM 9,00
KH / ALK 5,00
MAGNESIUM 9,50
NITRATE 7,50
pH 5,00
PHOSPHATE 7,00
STRONTIUM 14,00
those are prices in euros, with free shipping. are they pretty good prices for salifert?
which are the less important ones that i could drop? i was thinking nitrites, phosphate and strongtium arent that important.. but despite much reading i dont really know for sure. what do you guys test for?
also, these are the two additives i am considering ordering for corals:
