Phosphate reader or Phosphorus?

I'm confused as to which type of meter I should purchase to read the amount of phosphates in my tank.

I'd like to get an Hanna reader but I have these two choices:

1) Hanna Ultra Low Range Phosphorous Checker
2) Hanna Phosphate Checker

Which one should I pick?

The Hanna Ultra Low Range Phosphorous Checker is more accurate in the ranges commonly measured in the hobby.

As thegrun said, the ULR Phosphorus HI736 is the most accurate for our use. It's what I use & always recommend. It's also the only phosphate tester that Hanna offers that is specifically for marine use.
