Yes I use and have all the Red Sea test and yes I use them on the regular but, I also keep the simple dip strips on hand just for quick test.
I don't break all the test out every day but I do tend to just swab one around every now and then during the week just for a quick glance.
I agree nobody should rely on them for overall health but for a quick shot I find they do a pretty good job if I want a quick glance. If the Nitrates register or the alk looks off I can always pull out the big guns but, for a quick evening test I enjoy them.
Yes, yes I pay attention to the corals and such too.. don't make this a "horrible way to check your tank" thread but just seeing if anyone else likes to have them on hand for just simple glances.
