Nitrate and phosphate are always good to have around, although they get the least amount of usage by me.

If your keeping SPS, Ca, Alk and pH (most usage by me). Maybe Mg too.

To purchase them I always use:

I think Seachem is good for basic (PH, Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate). If you have corals, you need to buy Selifert Test kit (KH, CAL). I usually buy them online, they are pretty cheaper than LFS. www.Mainedepot.com, www.premiumaquatics.com.....

I'll only buy salifert from now on, all others pretty much suck IMO

I have amonnia,nitrate,mag,ca,alk,phosphate on hand, basic neccesities IMO too

i ran out of alk and cal need to buy new ones. just got the marine depot 2006 catalog they have a calcium momitor for $250.00 thinking of getting one..

that calcium monitor was reviewed by RHD at RC in advanced aquarist article and found it to be very unreliable, especially in continous use monitoring, to many molecules that the probe can translate as calcium it says, more complicated then I care to summarize

look for the article before you buy it though, its a good read
