Phosphates and iodine, but that is about all in your tank. BTW, I have the same kind of tank and don't test for either. Phosphates show when they are an issue. You would get cayno or diatoms again. Lack of iodine would only be an issue if you don't do water changes regularly, your shrimp will have trouble molting.

Should I test calcium?
