Hi everyone,

So the API instructions say to wait for 5 min for colors to develop. For past 2 days Nitrite results are .25 after 5 min wait. If I wait a total of 10-15 min the reading falls to zero. Which result should I trust?

It's been several days of epic PRIME treatment & WCs. I Just need to know if I can safely dial back the frequency of WC or if more are needed.
 
I'd trust the 5 minute reading. The colors start to change once the tubes sit out for longer than 5 or 10 minutes.
