I heard somewhere that the nitrate test can be inaccurate if there is nitrites because the test itself converts nitrates to nitrites then detects those.

brown pH test tube indicates 8.0 pH, green ammonia test tube indicates 1.0 ppm, purple-blue nitrite test tube indicates 0.25 ppm, yellow-orange nitrate test tube indicates 0-5 ppm

Nitrite: 0.0 ppm

Nitrate: 0.0 ppm

No, I don't know why the pH went up. Kind of scary that pH can just creep up like that. This was a used tank and the last death was caused by a pH spike... 👀 sooo yeah I gotta look out for that
