Hi, does anyone use this testkit? Maybe in reef keeping?

I'm unsure when to stop testing and the blue change has gone through.

api kits are way to hard for me to see,(im mid 20's 20/20 vision) using soft water watching for a tiny change in colour is very hard, but there good for nitrate and ph tests because there fairly cheap,

 

i use the red sea (CA) due to it being the only one i could find close to home, the far superior quality of the tests, the vast amount of components and the ease of reading the results, could in my opinion justify the hefty price tag i think it was like 40$ due to the fact i do not test CA often
