Need help - testing kit

[ruanholsthauzen]

Hi guys, I am new to this hobby. Purchased our tank on Sunday and now I want to start using the reef mature kit, but I need to test the salanity, kh, kh/alkalinity.

What testing kit would you guys recommend?

For salinity yes. But you can buy a cheaper one from takealot

Sorry for all the questions, I just want to get this right at the start so I don't have problems in the near future.

@RiaanP had a few for sale the other day. Maybe check with him if its still available.

WHat you also can do...before you spend thousands in shops. There are more often than not spares floating around on the forum. Just created a wanted thread and specify what you want. Guys will reply if they have the item you looking for. Might need some patience but I have bought almost all my kit i use on this forum
