if you are planning on keeping inverts, there is a secondary set of tests that become beneficial but not really needed in a FOWLR set up.
If inverts are on your radar, you may want to consider phosphate and magnesium test kits too.

once you identify a deficiency, a 2 part process has to start: Part 1 is to understand why and where the deficiency is probably coming from. Part 2 is then to remedy the deficiency. Prevention is proactive and should be what you strive for.
