I also just got the same elos kit and the color is clear too. Not sure if its a bad kit or what. I only have an api to compare it to and that reads zero but we know that kit sucks.

I'm not sure why phosphate testing has to be so problematic for aquarium enthusiasts. None of the test kits or colorimeters seem to test reliably. Especially the phosphate ones.

The only one I've seen with repeatable results has been the phosphorus checker.
