Seachem multi test kit reliable?

[chez471]

Is Seachem multi test kit reliable? I have the api saltwater test kit and people are saying it’s not reliable and I know Seachem is a good company so should I use it?

I do not agree with the premise that Seachem is a good company, pushing a number of useless (or worse) products with misleading pseudoscience intended to sound convincing to everyday reefers, but I do not know how accurate their test kit is. I have not used their kit in a very long time.

I don't see a reason to buy any multi test kit from a single company. They all would contain stuff you need, but also stuff that you don't need. Some companies are also good at some stuff and bad at other stuff.

What are you wanting to test for?

I agree that Seachem is a bunch of con artists.
