Hello,
I was wondering what you guys use to check phosphates. I seem to find negative reviews on every test kit on the market. The hanna checker may be what I go with in the near future, however, I was also wondering if testing for phos is a necessity. I have read different things regarding that as well, such as to get a true reading, crush up some sand with your test kits.. If you have algae then you have phosphates so no need to test for them since you can look in your tank and see whether or not they are present..
Help is appreciated!
