I've had good luck with Salifert and Instant Ocean test kits, although the Instant Ocean takes longer to use. Most systems need regular calcium and alkalinity supplementation. A 2-part like B-Ionic, Kent Tech CB, or C-Balance is an easy way to get started. Many tanks require magnesium supplementation, so a magnesium test kit is handy.
