I decided to send a sample to AWT. For the most part the results were as expected with 2 exceptions.
AWT says my Salinity is 1.023 when my Apex, my Milwaukie digital tester, and my refractometer all say 1.027? Also they say my Nitrate is 53! I have three different test kits, NYOS, Salifert, and API all give results of 5 or less.
Would people act on the AWT's results or what would be suggested as a course of action, retest with AWT or LFS or ignore, etc.?

Their tests are not accurate, same thing happened to me long time ago. Didn't know they were still doing tests. Try triton or fauna marine.
