Welcome— first thing about reefing is buying the best equipment first. Yes it costs a lot!! But it will likely end up saving you money vs buying lesser products multiple times! Here’s some test equipment I use - Milwaukee aquarium tester (salinity, make sure you get the aquarium one), Hana alkalinity, ultra low phosphate, calcium testers. I also do ICP testing about every 3 months. I’m semi-colorblind and have a really hard time distinguishIng test kit colors so a digital read out is godsend for me.

Ecotech Marine is basically the best hardware on the market in my opinion so you’re off to a great start.

Welcome to R2R. Ive found Redsea and Salifert test kits easiest to use and read.
I'd stear clear of api for Nitrates. Super hard to get accurate results with test tubes constantly leaking and if you dont get test perfectly right.
Anyhow happy reefing:)
