What test kits will I need?

[PurplePeopleEater]

I just started cycling my rock but want to be prepared for coral adding time.

Its a 10 gallon AIO with with 17lbs live shipped rock.

I have the basic API reef test kit for ph, ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate.

I want to keep pulsing xenia, some mushrooms, green star polyps, zooanthids, frogspawn at least and also want a small bubble tip anemone.

What test kits should I order?
