Any good test kits and pumps?

Can anyone recommend any test kits and submersible pumps for a reef? I'm planning on a reef aquarium that is 180 gal+. Thank you.

I have a mag 12 in my sump. It deosn't give off much heat and has little noise. Have also heard good things about the bigger mag pumps too.
For test kits I like the salifert brand.
I use the redsea nitrate test kit though because of the color index.
