Sn nitrate as high as nitrite

[Willthishelp?]

I've asked before but both nitrate and nitrite show the highest levels in aquarium test. Can I still use the sn?

In the sn method thread, its mentioned that the nitrate test has an additive to convert nitrite into nitrate. You should be only looking at the nitrite result and see if it closely matches 10 and not 5 (assuming your test strip is the same as standard)

Can you tell me which is the nitrite the one on top or below that? Can't see the names, sorry

 

[Willthishelp?]

Nitrate is one on top
So both highest, I have it in the containers they came but not in the driest place.. sort of basement it's clumpy but that was how it came also. Don't have anti caking in it

It looks closer to 10 for the nitrite, I assume its fine. The nitrate levels never matter that much.

Oh the 10 indicator is there. Its very close to 10 , only slightly orange but that's normal since colors dont exactly match in real life. So you followed the dilution steps and the instructions on the test strip carefully? Its very close to 10

 

[Willthishelp?]

Yes I did

Seems to be normal for Nitrate to Show up.

(SN Aquarium Test) Can anyone tell me if my SN is pure based off my test strip?

Received my SN in the mail yesterday and did an aquarium test immediately after. Can anyone who knows about this stuff please tell me if my SN is pure after looking at my test? Nitrate is the one under the blue one and Nitrite is the one just beneath. One thing I feel I should note is that it...

Its even a bit more intense than 10, high purity

The high nitrate worries me..
