You should be able to purchase the test kits without the chemicals. If you can't, it's not a bad idea to have those things on hand for later. If you dont use them or dont plan to then you can sell them to a local reefer who will.

edit to say: you wont need to add any additives for a while. That's for when your corals are using up more nutrients than your water changes can replace.

Okay quick question: Do you have any powerheads/wavemakers?

Eventually you may need to start dosing calcium and alkalinity especially if you have a lot of stony corals. However. with 10g waterchanges/week, this shouldn't be for quite a while. What test kits are you getting?

Also are you cleaning your sandbed when you do waterchanges?
