|  Phosphate test kit recommendations
I'm looking for advice on what phosphate test kit to buy. *I have a Hagen kit that is 9months old and the reagent has turned yellow. *I emailed hagen and they said this can happen with time but the test kit is still good. *I'm very skeptical about this because the kit is colormetric and the yellow solution will throw off the reading. *Any suggestions on brands of phosphate kits? _________ 75g reef with Nova Extreme 8 bulb HO T-5 lighting, refuge, Remora skimmer, DSB, Seio powerheads, Acro's, LPS corals, assorted zoo's & mushrooms, Yellow Tang, Maroon Clown, Blue Cleaner Goby , Cleaner, Fire and Sexy Shrimp, Coco Worm, T.Crocea Clam, Derasa Clam

I have SeaChem too. It "seems" to be accurate.
