I have been trying to get a phosphate reading, I had the API kits but it was almost impossible to read the charts once you phosphate levels were at the lower end. I think the options were 0, 0.25 then 1 and the color difference on the results chart was extremely similar.
I went and got a Salifert kit which had 0, .03 then .025 which is better... however 0 and 0.3 are only ever so slightly different shade of white/blue on the results chart.
Here is my water over the color chart with good lighting.
When over the top of the chart, I can see the left, the color pad is slightly darker, when over the lower color pad, the difference behind is even stronger
How would you read my results?
Is there a kit out there that gives you an actual result?
