Which pad is nitrite, which nitrate?

What ppm did you aim for in your solution?

Okay.

So your nitrite pad is the one on top in your picture (the darker one) and your solution should be 10ppm.
So if you hold your darker pad on your test strip next to the 10ppm nitrite test field it should match color.

Looks good then, yes.

If you want to confirm your first test you could do a second test with a 5ppm solution and see if it's also good, but that's optional.
