Anyone using this? Is it going to be good for very low levels of po4? I understand there is a -/+.04 tollerance level but isnt that the case with Hannas larger, more expensive units?

Its only $40 but I'm wondering if its good and accurate or if it is too new.

Seems decent.

Will be getting one in the mail soon myself. There was a backorder on it and expect about 2 weeks from most places.

Why don't you check out the chemistry forum?

Reef builders reviewed it and said it matched the more expensive unit quite well. Only drawback was the 10 second readout time limit

I have one and it works good. Much more accurate than matching colors. Direction suck though. The Reef Builders article makes me feel better about how accurate it is. Great price!
