Water testing, part of regular aquarium maintenance, includes using a water test kit to ensure the water is non-toxic and has the proper elements.
A basic saltwater test kit should include pH, nitrite, nitrate, and ammonia test kit. A good reef aquarium water test kit will also include an alkalinity test and a calcium test kit. A phosphate test kit, which measures available nutrients for nuisance algae, is also a good idea. The API reef master test kit is an excellent entry level choice.
