I bought a box of Salifert test kit for phosphate, and I have already lost
the instruction sheet. Does anyone know the proper steps for running the
tests? I found my 5 year old version, but they've change the contents. I've
tried the website, but that it's not a good reference...
Thanks for any help.

Let me check...

10 ml tank water
4 drops of reagent 1, shake 10 seconds
1 spoonful of reagent 2, shake 30 seconds
Read the results. Clear would be ideal, .03 is best, and
anything else is downhill.
