So I have an older Red Sea Marine Lab Test kit that I use for general testing (not Alk, Ca Or MG). I've been testing my Nitrates & Phosphates as I add fish trying to get my nutrients up.... and they keep testing 0. So I feed more, etc (haven't dosed anything yet). The tests are starting to run low so I ordered some new Salifert kits.

WOW!!!! Tested my NO3 & PO4 today!!!! NO3 - 50 & PO4 0.5!!! The whole time the older red sea test was at 0 for both. Now it expires later this year, but it makes me wonder how long it has been out of whack.

Beware of old test kits!
