 | Nitrite Testing, High or Low... |
mrlimpet Hobbyist Posts: 52 Kudos: 57 Votes: 3 Registered: 11-Dec-2004   | Hello, again. Ammonia levels are nearly zero, and now I concern myself with the nitrite tests...I'm using the fast-test kit, and when I use the low-range method of testing, the levels are thru the roof...when I follow the high-range guidelines, (adding .5 ml of water to the rest fresh water) they register about .5 To be honset, I don't know what I'm supposed to pay attention to here...Any thoughts?
