I have an API reef kit (tests Calcium, phosphate, KH and nitrate)...but was told that the API SW products are known to be inaccurate...however, I'll use up the kit and see what's up knowing that results might be off...
I then bought a Sailfert nitrite test kit - hoping to get away with just one more test kit for now (saving my money for livestock)...so I assume it's accurate.
