I've had a tank for some time now, and been using API test kits the whole time. Though, I'm not sure how "accurate" I've been recording the results, because I'm slightly color blind.
I drew out some water from my QT tank right before a water change. I know the pictures are tough to read out, but what would you interpret these results as? I uploaded the images in this same order:
Heres what I think:
Ammonia = .25
Nitrites = 0
Nitrates = 10
pH = 8.4 (gosh that seems high)
Heres what my LFS thinks (same water, using their Tetra EasyStrips):
Ammonia = .5-1.0
Nitrites = 0
Nitrates = "some"
pH = Didn't test for
