Will seachem copper test work for this product or should I get an API copper test kit

API is generally the go to for chelated copper but I know @hybridazn mentioned the Seachem works too. I would get @Humblefish opinion.

Seachem's range maxes out at 0.80 ppm, so it can't be used to measure chelated copper which has a therapeutic range of 1.5 - 2.0 ppm.

API copper test kit works for measuring chelated copper, or there are two "professional grade" ones listed here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/copper-test-kits.257924/

Thanks!

@Humblefish do you feel the "professional" kits are worth the extra coin?

Personally, no. But I have no problem reading the API copper test kit.
