Default Tester Kit for newly setup Shrimp Tank

Hi there! I have decided to upgrade my current tank to a 2ft 40L tank. It is currently under cycling process now.

What are some of the test kits would you recommend? Brand? And why?

I'm looking at pH, NH3, nitrate, GH. Did I miss out any? Or is it too much?

Thank you!

Thanks! So what type of tests do you do? pH? KH? NH3? gH?

Do you test for nitrite or nitrate, or both?
