On average how often do you test your tanks parameters?

I recently installed a Ca reactor so I have been testing Alk and Ca almost every other day for 3 weeks.
Usually I test about once a week or if something looks off. I test for Nitrates and Phosphates much less (once monthly) unless I have algae growing.

same here. I test my alk, cal, and mag about once every ten days or so. the rest are only if i think somthing is wrong.
I barely ever test salinity either now that i have a larger tank and a sump. I have a line on my sump that i fill with fresh ro for evaporation and my salinity stays right on point.
