API test kits are not fine to start out with. They give so many false results and are useless at low numbers. You mine as well not test. Try doing an API test 10 times with same water sample see if you get same results
I would have to disagree with you. API kits are fine to start out with. Once you get to the stage of keeping hard corals, such as LPS and SPS, then Salifert and Red Sea are better. Op hasn't even gotten out of his cycle yet!
