Yea that's why I'm going to the Hanna low range checker I was sick as tired of guessing if this tint of blue was a bit bluer then That tint of blue

My Reagent lot #'s are:
A: 10305114 B: 10305115 I have the Hanna meter also, and generally love it, except as noted earlier, I got 2 readings of 0.13 and 0.00 from the same lot #, which lead me to pickup the Elos, and it shows fully colorless :/ The procedure with the Hanna is not ideal... I'm sure more people are with me in that I'm very willing to pay more for a more precise (foolproof), and SIMPLE, test for some of these things. Phosphate and Alk specifically... I would love a simple test (probe or even titration), that was solid, I'm good for a recurring $100/year-ish or even a higher one-time rig!

So I pull out the old api kit and test my phophates and it reads 2. Yes not .2 but 2 so I immedietly switched out my phosphate media. No wonder I had a cyano break out and I thought it was because I was dosing vodka to get my nitrates down. Weird part is I never got any type of nuisance algae except cyano and yellow corals turned green.
Conclusion: bad elos test kit Thanks for everyones help
