Hi,

A master kit is cheaper then trying to purchase them separately. I personally like SeaChem kits the best. Calcium and phosphate tests are found in reef kits... I don't think those tests should only be done if you keep a reef. Keeping the proper Calcium levels determine healthy coralline growth, and phosphates and nitrates are equally important to keep at low levels, because they are the #1 reason for nuisance algae growth.
