Test kit


When I got the 46gallon tank, I bought Hagen's Master Test Kit. That kit incuded tests for nitrate, ammonia, phosphate, calcium, iron, nitrite, ph high, ph low, and carbonate.

Now that that tank and all its supplies are gone, I'm starting over with my 90 gallon, so I'll need new testing supplies. Which of those are the absolute necessary ones that I need to test for, and which ones could I get away from testing?

here's a good discussion on which test kit(s) are important, and why. Might give you some more insight on what you need to get now/later/never.
