Red Sea ammonia reading

[ChadmRoman]

Can someone please help my understand this reading? Thinking it’s somewhere in between 0 and .2, but at the same time it’s almost clear. This is the third reading in a row that looks like this.
Also tried with api test twice and received 0, and .25 readings.

If you placed it in the white circle, I’d say .2.

It’s the tint your looking for, not the density or thickness of the color.

It would be nice if it looked exactly the same as the values, but it’s a triation test.

That’s what I was thinking as well. I took your advice last week and started using stability. Things are better but tonight’s the last night to dose per the seven day instructions. So wondering if I should continue dosing stability and doing wc’s daily until I can read zero ammonia consistently. Thoughts?

Sources of ammonia originally a dead shrimp I can’t get too and dosing mb7.

I did two more tests and placed both in the white circle. Both tests read 0. I confirmed this by having my wife read it first before telling her what the colors meant.
