expired test kits

[smallblock]

I have alot of elos test kits that are barely expired, Does this really matter or is it a thing like on a bottle of water? The bottle of water will expire next year but we all know that is crap. Or do some of the ingrediants have a half life like medication and some elements.

I imagine there is a exp date on them but Im sure they can be used a little past the date. I wouldnt stretch it to far though...

yeah I know but I still wanna know why. Not just cause the MAN tells me too you know?

I think the only way you'll know is to call elos and ask, but you know what their going to tell you. Just buy another one new!! People now will tell you anything to make a buck.

I think they will be fine just do give you a basic idea of your water params.

yeah I know my params arent bad just by the look of the tank and the maintancce I do. But I want to start dosing so I'm gonna need to realy keep an eye on 3 certain params if you know what I mean
