I'm am sure this has been discuss before, but I wasn't able to find a thread quickly. What I am wondering is how often everyone is swapping out their test kits to use fresh reagents.
From time to time when I am having some issue in my tank I start to question whether the results that I am obtaining when I am doing my testing are accurate. The first thing I always wonder is how old are my reagents, and then I look and realize that I have been using this same kit of over 2 years. While most test kits come with an expiry, like most raw chemicals I would imagine that this date is the "unopened". Has anyone ever had this same thought? Do you swap out your reagents on a regular schedule?
And go.....
