Ph Test

[jcald]

I've noticed that my ph reading with the wardley test kit reads 8.2 but the aquarium pharmaceuticals test kit reads 8.0. How should I determine which reading is right? My tank has been established for about 4 years now and I just started adding new fish today after my lion fish had recently passed away. (approx 2 months ago after 3yrs of some increadible feedings)
I was just wondering if anyone else has ever notice the difference between 2 test kits before.

Of the two I've only used the american pharmicuticals type...and it compared well against my salifert. Just insure they aren't expired and if you can have a trusted LFS test a sample and compare their results to yours...but as a rule a range of 8.0-8.2 is decent.

Thanks NM Reef I never thought to look at Exp dates. I've had both test kits for a while so maybe I should get a new one.
And thanks for the welcome sign.
