hi i am having a little trouble reading my water parameter tests for amonia and ph. i use the api master test kit. the ph is kinda a burgundy purple color looks like it could be a lighter version of either the 8.2 or the 8.4 reading on the color chart. the amonia test is a two bottle set. add 8 drops of bottle 1 then 8 drops of bottle 2 shake for 5 seconds wait 5 mins and compare. but when i compare it to the chart its a bright yellow not even as dark as the 0ppm colar indicator. it more matches the middle of the 0 and .25 of the fresh water card. but its salt water so now im confused. any advice to help set me right here. this is my first set up ever btw. oh and salinity is 1.023 temp is 77. sorry long winded. thanks guys!
