So i test my water today first in loke 2 weeks. Its just has a sidneck turtle and gold claw crab in it.
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrates 40-80 ppm

My question is is this nitrate level ok or is that bad? There is not aglee or anything looking bad. Water looks great. The reason i said 40-80 is becaise o cant tell because the colors are so close on the test i can tell which one is its of those its the api master test for freah water.
 
I have the same problem with the nitrAte test but if I think its 40 or higher I do a water change because my understanding is that high nitrAtes are dangerous. Now I have fish so I don't know if it makes difference that you have a turtle & a crab.
