I'm very happy with my Hagen's PO4 kit. HOWEVER, if you buy one open the box and make sure the #3 re-agent bottle is glass. If #3 is plastic the whole kit is worthless, and you'll get 0 readings. Something in the plastic reacts negatively with the solution and renders it useless.
I had to e-mail Hagen's and they sent me a #3 in a glass bottle(no charge) and it works very well.

Thanks for the reply, that's good to know.
I'm still working on the site, but I only get around to it on weekends. I've also been having a few problems connecting to their FTP every once in a while, so that's been slowing me down a bit. Unfortunately I'll be back in school May to August, so I don't think there will be anything new during the summer. Thanks for showing interest

Lamott unfortunately(Cost a bunch) is about the only one I think folks should consider for NO3. PO4 is iffy as far as brands but the Seachem has done well for the price.
