I've been around here and there asking a few questions because I'm seriously working making my next tank a SW tank. Today's question is about testing equipment.
I know I would need a refractometer (this is for measuring salinity if I'm not mistaken) and I've heard this is better than the alternative that I can't remember the name of. Is that correct?
Now for what I'm really wondering. I've seen all kinds of tests mentioned that I've never used in freshwater. Calcium, kh(?), and others and I'm wondering if I can get a list of the tests that I would run as part of my regular tank testing and if they come in the master SW testing kit from API (i would assume that is the one I should buy correct?) And, if not, what tests I would need to buy separately.
Spare no expense. If I do a SW setup and there is something I might need to test in an emergency I would rather have the test for it handy.
