Aquarium Advice Freak
Okay, eco. Help me out here. I just got the water test results back from the health department. They are reporting to me that we only have 4.7ppm of nitrates in our tap water. So, why does my API Master Test Kit report that my tap water contains between 40-80ppm? Is it possible that the Nitrate solution in my test kit is bad or something? According to the date on the bottle it is manufactured February of 2011.
I just don't understand and don't get it. What should I do? Go buy another Nitrate solution set? Mine is just about wiped out anyway so I will need new soon regardless.
I just did a test on some bottled water and the results are 0ppm nitrates
I just did a test on my aquarium water and the results are approximately 40-80ppm nitrates
I just did a test on my tap water and the results are approximately 40-80ppm nitrates
Is the appropriate way to read these darn things by holding them against the white part of the card or holding them out a little from the card? It really makes a big difference if you hold it out from the card or hold it against the card.
This is just crazy if you ask me...
