Troubleshooting

Strip color does not match any color on the chart

Ensure the strip was fully submerged for the correct duration and that you are comparing the colors immediately after the specified reaction time. Lighting conditions can also affect color perception; try viewing the strip in natural daylight.

Inconsistent results on repeat tests

Ensure you are following the instructions precisely each time, including the dip time and reading time. Check the product's expiration date. Store the strips properly to prevent degradation.

Difficulty interpreting colors

View the strip in good lighting, preferably natural daylight. Compare the colors carefully with the provided chart. If unsure, consider consulting with an experienced aquarist or your local fish store.
