Going through supplies from tank purchase I noticed some stickers on testing boxes with what appeared to be the exp date. Well some had been covered with price tags.
So my question is, can I still use those kits to test or not, they are expired. How accurate will they be?

My Salifert kits that I have now have an expiration date of 2017.....I'd be a little concerned if I was using them 5 years from now. Get some kits that aren't expired. Not worth taking the chance IMO.
