testing

[angelsj247]

ive had my tank for 2 months now and just put in a clown fish a shrimp and some snails. The things i test for are Alk, trates, trites, salinity, temp, ph, and ammonia. Is there anything thing else i have to test for in a FOWLR tank? just making sure cuz alot of people test for calcium and other stuff ive noticed on here.

Calcium levels would be a good thing to know as proper levels will help with coraline algae growth.

If you want coralline growth, I agree that testing Ca is important. A test now and then for magnesium can also be useful. Low magnesium can lead to calcium and alkalinity problems.
