    Can someone please tell me what parameters I should be testing for with a 300 gallon FOWLR.

    And can someone recommend what kit to use (not sure who has the best kits out there...)


    Thanks!

    There's nothing all too much to test for in FOWLR. Nitrate, phosphate, pH, and possibly alk are the only ones I can think of for an established tank. Alk is just in case pH is low, as alk has an effect on pH.
