5Phosphate Test Kit  May 12, 2007
By H. Brodersen
This test kit gave me the same results as the pool store's test. Therefore, I would say it's excellent.

5This product WORKS with what it was INTENDED for!!  Aug 18, 2011
By Rich Hayes
PLEASE DON'T BASH A PRODUCT BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T READ THE DESCRIPTION AND THE PRODUCT WAS NOT INTENDED FOR WHAT YOU ARE USING IT FOR!! The title is clear, "Aquarium Pharmaceuticals 63L Phosphate Test Kit FOR FRESH OR SALT WATER AQUARIUMS"

This is not meant to offend or make anyone look stupid but I just hate to see people bash a product just because it wasn't made for their application, which if you read the description for this kit, you can easily see that this product is made for aquariums, NOT POOLS! Also, for someone to think that this is used to remedy Phosphate problems...it says "test kit" and literally says no where in the description that it remedies anything. Even the name of the company is "AQUARIUM Pharmaceuticals"...keyword "Aquarium". Mistakes happen, but regardless of this product being listed in the wrong area, if people would just read the description before hitting "Add to Cart", then these issues wouldn't occur. And if you're still unsure, contact the manufacturer or do a simple Google search...

It's not the products fault that Amazon listed it in the wrong category. READ!!!

5A must have for aquariums  Dec 19, 2011
By Haz
Very happy with the API FW/SW PHOSPHATE TEST KIT. It is so important to test for phosphates to head off algae issues. The kit arrived on time and works well.

4Phosphate test  Feb 28, 2010
By R. Higgins
Seems to work fine. When levels are up a bit, I use PhosBan. Julian Sprung's formula. That also works well.

1Waste of money for reef tanks  Apr 13, 2012
By Choco
This kit, like most API kits I have used is very simple. Take a sample of water, add reagent and compare the sample with a colored test card. The problem is that the test is not sensitive enough. The scale goes from 0 to .25 or higher. With a saltwater reef tank you want the phosphates around .03. If there is any phosphate in the tank, which there almost always is, it will read .25. It might be .25, it might be .001. You don't know. If you have an algae problem, you almost certainly have a phosphate problem. There is no need for testing. Save your money and buy some GFO instead and use it whenever you have an outbreak of algae.
