This is in regards of testing my water parameters...
When I test for NitrITES I fill the tube... add the solution, it IMMEDIATELY turns purple and then 5 minutes later it will be blue saying nitrITES are zero. This happens with my ammonia test too.
Should I be worried that when I first drop the solution into the water it turns to a dark purple? I know you have to wait 5 minutes to get the reading... I just need some words of comfort! The test kit is BRAND NEW and I am filling up the test tubes to the line and shaking with the cap on for 5 seconds. THANKS!
