My list would be this...

Plastic swing arm calibrated against a refractometer - about $12
pH? I have a meter, I can't remember the last time it got wet. I paid $100, next time I'd buy a kit - $17.95
Floating thermometer - $2 maybe?
Ca and Alk Salifert kits (once you have corals growing) $27.95 and $17.95.

The other tests, NO2 and NO3, have done at your LFS. Repay them by shopping there. That money you just saved could buy some nice stuff to put IN the tank!!

Your list - $415. My list, under 80 bucks.
