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)
Post pics of the results we'll help you out

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
