Liquid I am changing my test kit! LOL... Had a test done a different (reliable) test kit and it read 0! Think mine is off as i can test the water twice 5 mins apart and get 2 different readings! When i tested the other day it said my nitrates were at 100 - nar I thought, everything would be dead! So got my water tested by someone else, and woohoo it was 0!

These kits are a little bit of guess work in any event. Altough the best guess you can have if you use them.
