Which Phosphate Test Kit Do You Use??

How long has this been going on in this tank?
I’d either grab some water and go test it at another member’s house or have them swing by before you keep adding excessive amounts to correct it.

I don’t know about the phosphorous, but the phosphate has these samples that you use to check the validity of your tester…

I don't think I have these. If I did, they've since turned in to more test vials.. smh

There just full of redacted and unredacted sample to give your meter a reading…but it’s all +/-

A cheaper thing you could do is just to take out a liter of your tank water, spike it with your phosphate additive to 10ppb or so, and then measure that. If it gets that right, then I think your hanna is working fine.
