What Color Is This?

[Lantz]

My tank is cycling, the ammonia is gone and the Nitrites are high and now the Nitrates are present.

My problem is the Nitrite test colors are SOOOO close its hard to tell them apart, that or Im a little color blind?

Have a look and give me you impressions of this reading?

I may have read the Nitrite wrong on 10/26?

1st) move down one. (purple)
2nd) move up one (yellow)

Looks like the last bar to me...which would make sense given your increasing levels on the chart...

2nd is in the middle... between 1st and 2nd

I wish they made these colors easier to tell apart

Maybe another shot would help?

Maybe another shot would help?

I'd say 5.0 or 2.0

Put the vial over the colors and whatever box you can't make out via looking through is how I read mine. I agree with five on the nitrites.
