I recently just got this. I SWEAR I'm following the directions correctly. I've read them 3 times and tested twice already!
The high range pH looks a darker purple than the two purples on the sheet.
Nitrate in the bottle is showing yellow (the same color as the drops) even though my old strips said they were at 60. I just added plants yesterday AND just did a water change, but is it possibly that the strips really were that inaccurate? Or the plants helped that fast?
Also, ammonia at it LOWEST (0) should be yellow. Mine is coming in clear during both tests. Is that normal?
I've been filling them as they should be filled and stuff. What's going on?
I have been waiting 5-10 minutes for each to fully develop. :/
It's my first time using this kit obviously :sweatdrop:
EDIT: not sure if there's a difference between bottle numbers 1 and 2 for ammonia and nitrate, but I've been using number 1 for both tests
Nitrates are zero btw.
