My problem with API gh and kh test kit is I can't tell did it actually change colour. But with sera it is clear cut to the point.
I normally use 10 ml of water to test instead of 5 ml. It takes twice the amount of the drops but it is easier to see the colour change.
Mainly for API.
API Test tube has a 10 ml marking?

I use the sera test tube.
Oh i see. Its more accurate/easier to see results this way?

I find it so.
Oh i see.. i'll try it with 10 ml and against white background. Anyway just an update, Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate have all become zero. GH 3-4 and KH 1(i think).
Only is pH which was last checked last night 4.5 again. Did a small water change and havent checked yet.

pH level is still very low. Currently after WC pH now 5.5. Could it be that my kH is acctually not 1, which is why the pH is this way. From as low as 4.5 to 5.5. Please advice. Have been running this tank for 42 days to be exact. Is there something wrong?

Initial setup the early weeks was high ammonia readings off the chart, followed by nitrite rising and later nitrate rising as well. nitrite rise to a high level and slowly decreased to 0, while ammonia and nitrate both remained high until later weeks before being reduced to low readings. So the cycle didn't take place?

Sorry, in that case the nitrogen cycle did take place.
New Amazonia actually takes a longer while to finish its cycle. My last tank (1.5feet) took 1.5 months, while other did reflect similar situations as well. So just wait for the cycle to finish on the whole, haha.
If the situation was not solved, then you have to tell us a few key information in order for fellow forum members to suggest you.
1. Tap water ph in your location after aging.
2. Additives you add on a regular basis.
3. Plants/livestocks currently.
4. Water change regime.
