What Color Is This?

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.

Thank you for sharing that tip! I'm color deficient and can't see green, so the pH and Ammonia tests are nearly impossible for me to read. This should help.

I'd say that your Nitrites are around 3.0 ppm, maybe a little higher.

It says not to put the vial over the colors, put it next to the white part and compare. I'm just saying what the directions say, no flaming please.

Personally looks like 2.0 for the nitrites. If your cycling and you have nitrates and nitrites, that's a bit weird.

I wonder if there is a reason to why they say don't put the vials over the colors then compare. Or are they just making stuff up.

Not at all, its normal to have both mine are just a little higher than they should be due to over feeding. Im right at day 30.

My too deathpony I tried it and it works!

never knew that, makes sense really. To get Nitrates you need nitrites and the nitrites will slowly go down as nitrates get higher until their gone.
