ULR Phosphate is a must regardless of any tank you have. I find alk can be replaced with Red Sea if you have softies/LPS dominated tank but if you have more SPS or need/want to check your alk parameters daily, Hanna.

Buy the tests you use.
I use Phosphate ULR, Alk, and pH. I don't have the nitrate but I may get that one.

Before I wondered what my parameters were, pH always came in low, Phosphate was too low to detect, and salifert drops worked as well as Hanna for pH but I got lazy counting drops.
