Is this too much nitrate (aquarium test SN)?

[suicidalcatlady]

The promising piece is that nitrite is high too (I did the test following the SN+ aquarium test thread)
I ordered 98% SN from Malaysia. Please help!

Do u know why the nitrate is so high?

Do u know why the nitrate is so high?

If you have high pure sn both nitrate and nitrite will show high in strip test, I would say if the nitrite is high sn is good to go

Do you see this on your strip holder



Basically says if there's any nitrite in the solution, the nitrate reading is useless since it uses the same reaction as said above. (Nitrit is german for Nitrite, it's a typo)

Thank you so much

I'm guessing that @Vizzy is right about it being normal that nitrate shows up.

However, I'll order a more accurate test and let you know the results since we ordered from the same source.

Thank you so much

Did you follow the below instructions to test your sn?

 

[diyCTB]

Why does it not instruct to withdraw 2ml of the water from second 1L bottle before adding 2ml from first 1L bottle?
