Question.1. Nitrates seem to bounce up down betwwen 5 and 10 ppm is this a good thing or just it is happening ?.. or me poorly testing
Question.2. Nitrite test... Purple not going straight to bootom and staying there starting to have purple cloud at bottom does this mean nitrites and starting
to come down ?
Question.3. when should i start testing at 12 hrs (as it now Oppm at 24hrs for last 5 tests)
