You can have one of mine if you want to make a trip down to Norwalk.

Thanks Joe,

I'm very grateful for the offer, but I have 3 left. I am in the mood to do a battery of testing since I saw some odd readings in the last few days.

A few days ago a tested my water at .05, and the next day after a water change it was .25 and .26.

Make me super worried that my reef crystals is adding tons of phosphate into the water. Especially since im bare bottom on my holding tank, and siphoned away any debris that could have been adding phosphate.

Ill be doing another test now to see hoe the water is 2 days after the 15-20% water change.

Right now I'm trying to snag a 100 count pack, but cant find one without free shipping. Guess Ill have to put in a big order for something somewhere

A few years ago I used my Hanna phosphate checker against newly mixed (1 day aerated) Reef Crystals and got no phosphates. I would be interested to know if you test your Reef Crystals (before you add it to your tank) and get a phosphate reading.
