Im slowly converting all my cheap test kits I bought to cycle with over to Salifert. Its amazing how different the results are between the two.
In a way, that's a little frightening too, right? It's best to open a new kit and compare it to the old one to see if the readings are close before officially making the switch. Any test kit you purchase should have the purchase date written on it. Then the day I open the kit to use it, I write that date down. A kit is usually good 12 months from the date it is opened for the first time.
I tested the PO4 level today, and it was between 0 and .03ppm. Phosphate Control is an awesome product.
