Please note API reef kits are notoriously inaccurate. Just be careful.

I just found the book I know the have a bad rep but at the moment it the best I har

You can take it into your LFS and test. Just make sure they use a quality test kit.

The only things my lfs test is salinity, ammonia, trite and trates

Ouch. Any decent LFS will test dKH, Can,and Mg. Oh wells. The API test will at least tell you if something is really out of whack. Good luck!

I have a petland, petco, petsmart, and a local store and neither one of them test much

Most shops use API test kits because they are cheap
