Its not St Patricks day again is it 
The expiry date is only any use if the contents of the kit have not been exposed to air, after that its anybodies guess how long it will last!!!
Looks like you will have to spend some more money, he,he,he

Whoa tripple post dude!
Marcus, I also did a bucket test, cos I think my nutrients have crept up in the last few weeks, and it was definitely a greener that it was before the resumping so the phyto suggestion maynot be so strange.....
(See Trev, your not the only one)

seeing the bucket i think its quite likely that you are close to zero and its a background green -- the cheato that disolved in the sump into microscopic little bits of green stuff ? - thats about the least scientific answer in the history of IR haha ( oh and its actually because your reading is well over 1000) !

Hi Chris, could be a faulty test kit I bought a new one and had exactly the same as your pics but was certain that I had Nitrate above 10, took it in to Linds and we tested it on the fish system still zero 
so i binned it and got another new one which read 20 
Cant remember the exp date think it was 2011 sometime
