Water testing kits for zoas?

Hello, I’m new to keeping corals and want to keep zoanthids in my biocube. I want to make sure I have everything I’ll need for them. Thanks!

Your basic tests should be nitrates, phosphates, calcium and alkalinity. The cheap api reef master will do an alright job for base line

Super Cool, Are you considering any other soft corals ?

I want to do some mushrooms for sure. Definitely some of the beginner soft corals for now.

I've had good experiences with Zoas and some LPS Such as Frogspawn. Just try to keep the stability and keep it a little dirty. Try using Red Sea test kits just focus on Alkalinity & PO4 . You can test for nitrates but over time you will do less as tank matures .
