nitrite nitrate ammonia

wich test is the most important because im getting a test kit elos for 1 and im in a budget

 

If the tank is established then I would say nitrate.

 

;Dmy lfs said since nitrite is the first one to appear because it turns 2 nitrite 2 ammonia but sure

 

Are you sure they said that? cause it goes, amm, trite, then trate!

 

If i were to get one it would be Nitrate. That seems the most relevent, but really you going to need them all in the near future.

 

Is your tank cycled?? If it is not cycled i would get nitrite, but you really need the whole test kit to be sure..

If your tank is cycled i would get ammonia, simply beacuse it kills fish faster then nitrate IMO

hmmm?

 

well your name is fragginawesome, so i'd get the nitrate, as its the one most likely to mess with your frags/corals! plus once, the tank is cycled, and you don't overload it with uncured LR or too many fish at one time, your ammonia and nitrite should stay at zero!

 

why not pick up some cheaper test kits for the time being? at least then you can actually test if need be.
