So if you've used the redsea pro kit you've done the high range method (15ml of rodi to 1ml of tank water) & your test color is still at max (60ppm).
So what the actual reading is doesn't matter because it needs lowering. But if you're curious to know the actual no3 level, what you'll need to do is mix 31ml of rodi & 1ml of tank water in a larger clean vial, pour 16ml of that solution into the redsea test vial, take the reading then multiply that by 32.

I did not do the high range method as this was a last minute test. I plan to do that tomm on my day off.
