i’m having trouble reading this ammonia reading the tank is cycled so it shouldn’t have any ammonia the nitrites are zero and the nitrates are between 10-20 i also read that you might see the colour better if you look down the tube instead but idk if that’s accurate so i took pictures of both in...
