In my early freshwater days I used API, they were good enough. Got to the point where I didn't need them, could just look at the tank and know.
Hoping to get to that level with saltwater, but I doubt it.
Now I'm using API only for Ammonia, and Salifert for everything else. My LFS stopped stocking Elos.
Saving up for a few Hanna's.

Unfortunately I have to get almost all on that list shipped up here as all the stores here carry API and that is what I use as its readily available

Salifert for everything accept phosphate. I use Hanna for that.

I just wish they continued to make the Potassium test kit.
