I recall seeing a post about the nitrate test from API. So sorry, but now I can't find the thread .... : (
Anyway (as the person stated in the post) the directions clearly state that the color chart for test results is for "... freshwater aquariums to which SALT has been added ".
HUH? Forgive my novice status, but wouldn't the addition of salt make it a marine tank?
How am I to correctly interpret the results for my freshwater tank? I'm sure that any nitrate reading > 0 is bad and requires immediate corrective measures. But how am I to accurately relay my numbers?
Thanks, and sorry if this is covered in other threads. I did try to search
