Hello I had two questions. 1) what should I be testing for regularly in my reef tank? 2) If I have corals should I be supplementing the water with anything special to help them thrive?

1) what should I be testing for regularly in my reef tank? 2)

Test Alk weekly and dose only if needed. Test the other big 2 monthly. If consumption is low then water changes will take care off all that is needed.

What do you have in your reef tank? What type of corals? How long has it been set up? For me I test more frequently early on and then may feel comfortable with less testing. I test for nitrate and phosphate early on more regularly than later. I peronally would advocate for more frequent testing of alk and ca, maybe daily, but again depends on what you have and what you are doing with your tank.
