Do you feel that you are testing as frequently as needed?

I’d say average, since it test it maybe once a month. In the early stages I would test it around once a week (or multiple times). I only really test it more frequently if I’m doing water changes to make sure everything is the same from old water parameters to new water parameters.

I voted average. If you notice problems you'll need to test more often to keep things safe, but if your doing things right and being careful, testing doesn't have to be as often. If anything, it's probably better to be on the testing more than average side than the opposite.
