I am in the process of cycling and setting up 2 new saltwater tanks and I have been looking at Hanna test kits to use. I am thinking about taking the plunge soon and picking up a few. What would be the best kits to pick up for a newly cycled tank? I was thinking Nitrate, Alkalinity, and Phosphate. I am also trying to figure out which Phosphate test would be appropriate at this time. I read maybe the low range for a new tank. And if i need the nitrate, which one? Can anyone offer me any guidance, please?
Edit: I'm starting out with dry rock and fish. Hoping to possibly add easy corals (softies and sps?) 6 months or so down the line. Whenever the tank parameters are stable. I am thinking about getting Calcium and Magnesium then. I have read that the Red Sea tests are better than Hanna for that.
