Api reef master test kit

This test kit needs alot of improving. I get it's the cheapest one out there but it's still 30$. First of all the glass vials it comes with aren't durable at all and easily break. When you shake them like the instructions say, water starts coming out the top everywhere. The test results are hard to read. Don't even get me started with the nitrate. Its the dreaded last test for me. I know I'm going to spend 10 minutes alone trying to decipher the results and end up guessing at the end. It has no instructions how to read the results for nitrates. I can hold the test tube 4 different ways to get 4 different results. Lately it's either been 20, 40, 80 or 160 ppm. That's a huge difference there. 160 ppm nitrates would be horrible in my tank where as 20 ppm wouldnt be as bad. The bottles also barely last.

The best thing to do with api kits is toss them in the trash.
