Test Kit Reading

Yahtzee · 04/19/2018, 10:12 PM

Hoping someone can help decipher my test kit for me as colors are hard. First picture is immediately after the test and the second picture is 45 seconds after for the pH, nitrite, and nitrate levels.

I would go with zero nitrates and nitrites, 8.0 pH, around 200ppm carbonic hardness (11.1 dKh). Test strips are generally not very accurate, but they will get you in the ballpark.
