NO-2 (fresh & saltwater Nitrate) : 0ppm (mg/l)

NH3/NH+4 (Saltwater Ammonia) : 0.25ppm (mg/l)

NO-3 (Saltwater Nitrate) : 20ppm (mg/l)

Saltwater High Range PH : between 7.4 - 7.8ppm (mg/l)


please can you advise if the results above are fine are not?

Well Tropical Fish refers to both Marine and Freshwater. Which do you have?

Yep a Saltwater test kit isnt any good if your testing a Freshwater. So just like Ace, is your tank a Marine or Freshwater?

So then your tank is Freshwater, and dosent need salt. So you need a Freshwater Test Kit.

Usually saltwater and freshwater test kits are interchangeable. They are still testing for the same substances, so it makes no sense that it wouldnt work. Your test kits should come with 2 cards, fresh and saltwater. Just use the appropriate card for your type of water. Your tank shouldnt have fish in it yet, but seeing you already do, just dont add anymore until your ammonia goes down to 0. Either way, if the ammonia test was yellow, its a good sign because that should mean 0(assuming you have the api kit).
