How often do you test parameters?

Aside from salinity, how often do you test for other things? How many of you don't test anything except salinity? What kinds of things do you test for regularly?

What are you guys using to test with?

 

[FranklinDattein]

Live monitoring: temperature and pH.
1x week: salinity during WC
1x month: Alk, No3
6x year: Ca
4x year: Mg, Sr, I2, K, Fe

Sometimes more, whenever a particular parameter needs attention.
Worth mentioning I use dosing pumps for a while and deviations in NO3, Alk, Ca and Mg are minimal.
