As stated your testing regime will alter as time goes by…
With some tolerance from the mods/audience I’ll semi ramble here:
I’d get slightly paranoid about alkalinity at first anyway, personally I test daily via Neptune Trident but don’t even fully trust that and oft re verify with the two hanna DkH testers I own
I test phosphates as needed, it’s a acquired taste and hard to nail down but basically I go by the glass algae, not scientific but I can even usually tell if a snail died or if I over fed just by the dusting on the glass
Just for a baseline I’d test alk 3x/week, phosphate 1x/ week and mg & ca 1x/mo…other opinions and frequencies are probably equally valid
nitrates on occasion/as needed …this is algae based and by eyeball … I got no good input here as I’m not 100% certain any value under 20ppm matters …not versed on the whole phosphate/nitrate ratio either…I defer
Copper: Anymore I just ICP for FE, and other metals
I never have tested for ammonia or nitrites past initial cycle
I agree with everything apart from the calcium because my maxima is settled now after a month of moving around and it’ll probably start sucking it out
In a week it’s dropped 55ppm so this time next week I expect it to go to 500 ish
