test kit no good?

getting back into the hobby i thought i would go cheep...why? i dont know.

anyway i have a redsea master test kit and it is telling me that the levels have not changed since the second week of my cycle. I am now 13 weeks into it.

i think i may have had too much patience. as soon as i get a chance i am going to have my lfs test my params.

in the mean time, any thoughts on the red eas test kits?

I've never used Redsea, but 3 months and no change, I would think somethings wrong. I like API because they are relatively cheap, easy to use and accurate enough.

Take the water to your lfs and compare before you throw away your money. Good luck

Yes, I definitely agree with getting someone else to double check your results.
