I am using the API Nitrite test kit and got a reading tonight that was the closest shade to the .25 (purplish) reading but much darker and not really matching anything on the chart. Does this mean mine "party" has begun and my Nitrites are off the chart?
A little history is 2 days ago I had a .25 Nitrite reading and Ammonia 4.0. Today I had Ammonia like a 2 - 2.5 and then the weird Nitrite reading. I am about 7-8 days into my cycle (sry log book is upstairs).
Anyhow - from what I understand the Nitrates will go off the chart at some point right? Is it typical to have this happen over 2 days?
Thanks
