First, you need to calibrate the phosphate test kit with solutions having known amount of phosphate in them. Otherwise, you can't know if it is a test kit problem (very likely) or a problem with some rocks or substrate leaching phosphate into the water (not very likely), or a tap water problem.

If you search for it, there is at least one post on the forum telling how to make known phosphate concentration solutions, and how to use them.
