I think @Maritimer can help you out there

You should probably read through this thread. There's still some improvements that need to be made... like a better range on some of the tests. However, since all of the calculations are done in the app and not in the hardware, a simple update and new test strips are all that's needed to get the new range. And so far, they have always sent the updated strips for free!!!

Alas, while it seems to be an amazing test kit, I haven't been able to use mine "Your device is incompatible with the current software". Gotta see about maybe updating the software on the 'phone, or something . . .

What improvements are you speaking of and what ranges do you believe need to be extended?

Do you have a windows phone?

The main one is Nitrate NO3. For reefs we need to read far below 3 ppm, which is the lowest the 570 currently reads. It would be nice for it to read down to 0.2 ppm or lower. The Phosphate test isn't bad... at least not for me. I like to keep mine around PO4 of .02 - .03 ppm.... so the low end on the 570, of .02 ppm, is fine. Here is a nice list of the parameters we like to monitor and the ideal levels of said parameters. This chart was compiled by one of the experts here on R2R, Randy Holmes-Farley.

Thank you I appreciate the chart. What are you currently using to test your nitrate levels?

I'm currently using the Red Sea NO3 test kit. It seems to work really well.

Any update on this ???? If its accurate and works like it claims this will make testing so much easier .... Has there been any updates very interested please anyone let me know
