    I just got back from making a mad dash to the LFS, their results reads
    Ammonia 0
    Nitrite 0
    Nitrate 0
    Phosphate 0
    Only issue PH was 7.8
    Thanks everyone for your help, I am going to calm down now and have some fun with my new Corals.

    Congrats,how do you fill your api vials?You do know the marked lines are off on alot and make for false readings?I fill mine with a medical syringe and I only have like 4 vials that are correctly marked.4 are incorrect.

    Same here, I saw a post on here a while back. Going forward I never follow the line on each vial.

    Yeah,i've filled mine that way (with a syringe) for quite some time just because it was easier,I thought it was just my kit and never gave it a second thought until another member (can't remember who) brought it up and I seen that is a common problem with the kits.

    I just did as the kit instructed, sometimes I fill only half way to the line then use half the drops, extends the life of the kit<<<<< cheap scate!! so how did you figure out a better line to fill your vial to grinder37?
