Hi all, I'm struggling to read my API test kit PH readings. So I've done the low and high PH tests as I'm not sure which range I will be in, the low range test appears to show 7.6, and the high range about 8.2. So I'm not sure which one is correct reading? I've attached pictures with 2 different views of the test tubes.

Anyone have this issue, or able to advise?

Sorry I think one is upside down! Just took them on my phone.

Thanks convict, so just so I understand you would say 8 because the blue on the low ph test is too dark to be 7.6, so off the scale, so I would take the higher ph test which reads at 8.
 
8.2

You will probably have to just use the high ph tester like me , my ph is usually around there too. The low test will always read 7.6 which is the highest end that it measures.

:Agree: I have the same problem. I look at it as it doesn't really matter as long as it doesn't change
