Hi, I have the test kits for:
Ammonia
Ph
Nitrite
Nitrate
Salinity
What other test kits should I get for a fowlr? Phosophate? Calcium?
 
I think you should be pretty much set for a FOWLR. I would not worry about the phosphate test. Your protein skimmer should remove most of the phosphate, but if you seehair algea starting to overgrow, you can use a phosphate remover such as phosban, and reduce phosphate almost to zero. Also, Calcium testing is probably a good Idea to get, but you will not need to test calcium as often as with a reef aquarium, since you will only need the calcium for coraline algae growth, and snails if you have them.
