Once a week but mainly to make sure that the calcium reactor is working the way it should be  |

The LFS, if you're lucky to be close enough, should have all the necessary testing equipment for you! & for free to boot! We all have a salinity checker however and that's the most important.... | |

If you test your water once a week, it would be the same thing(without the ca reactor).
