I do agree. However the fact that I am reading 0 on multiple tests and I still have all my coral and inverts doing perfectly fine I think I will be ok. I am still going to be removing the fitting of course I'm just not going to have to cry myself to sleep thinking about a full tank overhaul.
It was just a standard seachem test kit but I do not have the resources to bring my water to a lab.

Edit. The seachem test kit actually test to 0.01mg/l. And seawater is .003 so yes I could have some undetected but I cannot test to the quantities that could be present.
