Good question, that's why I invested in Hanna checker.

Hard to tell the density of the color in the pictures but below is my best guess.

Try sliding the vial directly over the color scale, it may be easier to tell which color looks the least different.

Ammonia: 0.5-1.0 ppm
Nitrite: 0.5-1.0 ppm (could be high, but it's difficult to tell)
Nitrate: 5.0-10.0 ppm (hard to tell which it is)

I see 1 ppm ammonia, .5 ppm nitrite and 10 ppm nitrate. If you're color blind, maybe invest in some Hanna Ckeckers, they're not too costly and give you a digital readout.

What is Hanna checker?! im not colorblind but for some reason I have trouble differenciating the colors! I even sometimes come up with a number in the middle of the colors!

This but would also say you are missing PH [emoji23]

I broke the 4th glass tube !!I ordered 24 pack that are coming In today!!! No more constant washing !! Ph was 8.0-8.2

Thanks

Nice , that's a kit. Do they sell ones that measure ammonia , nitrites and nitrates instead ? And or ph

Yes, I'm completely colorblind so they make life easier than having to ask someone what color things are everytime I do a test.

Lol I've been asking my wife every time . I'm truly not colorblind , but I have to like close one eye and focus to tell which one . Weirdddddd

And thank you.

When I lived alone I used to post my tests on Facebook for people to tell me what color they were, I was surprised at all the different answers I'd get.

I agree , the colors look completely different in person as well. I got stronger
Readings on everything. Then when the vial is held straight up the color seems to be darker then if you flip them on there side . I've also been trying to figure out how to organize all the wires in back of the tank. I hate seeing all kinds of wires.

It's not you. API are so hard to read. The calc and Alk tests are fine since it's a titration and unless you really are colorblind you can easily tell the diff between pink/blue and blue/yellow (respectively). But, the phos and nitrate tests are the worst. A Hanna digital phosphorus tester and a Red Sea nitrate test kit will do you wonders.
