How often are you testing your tank parameters?

[Gumbies R Us]

I know I have an Apex set up that tests my pH and Temperature; I usually test the rest of my parameters when something goes south in my tank. I am wondering how often you are testing your tank parameters.

Weekly, Sundays. Tank maintenance and water change day

every 6 months

I'm still working my Saturday/Sunday job, so I test nutrients and major parameters mostly on Mondays, followed up with a water change. Sometimes I'll go again toward the end of the week.

Corals say it makes a difference.

Weekly for the most part. I test nitrate, phosphate, pH, Alk, and Ca on Saturday mornings when I come into the office to do larger maintenance items and a 10% water change. I skip the occasional weekend if I'm traveling.

With my tank still being new, and I'm still having to dose ammonia and phosphate, I check P and dKH every day. N, pH, and Ca I check on water change day, once a week. I think I will be at the point where I don't have to check P and dKH every day soon though! Things are finally starting to stabilize and I'm getting my dosing down. The dosing pumps have helped a TON!

Alk, Ca, Mg daily with trident. The others every week or so.
