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)

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

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
