I think I'd save my money, if you are getting any reading for Ammonia or Nitrate it is too much it doesn't really matter what the reading is, the other tests aren't much use for salt water. High pH is about the only one you could use and people generally cause themselves more problems testing pH and trying to fix it than if they don't know what it is. Regular water changes will ensure your Calcium, Alkalinity, and Magnesium levels are correct. If you have these 3 right your pH will be fine.
