Agreed,
No point paying $300.00 for something you will never use, just to have it expire on you. Testing trace elements IMO is a waste of time, it's very hard to determine the rate of which these elements are taken out of our tanks so to try and test/ dose for them usually leads to problems instead of fixes (regular water changes is the best solution to this). I test for CA, ALK, MG, Salinity, pH, Nitrate, Nitrite, the occasional phosphate and of course temp. Your best precursor to any problems is to just observe your corals though, color change, inflation/ deflation and necrosis of tissue are just a few things to watch for.
