Sounds good Jarrad. Your next purchase should be some test kits of your own. It's always good to have them on hand.
The only fish I'm not too sure about are the dwarf gouramies. They may be alright, and they may not. Are they male or female, or a mixture. You'll just have to keep an eye on them.
All the rest sounds good.

yer sounds like a good idea lol i used to have one that tested everything but it was over a year old and the instructions said that i should replace it every 6 months so it got binned
