That Nitrite is crazy, and so is the ammonia range. I'm assuming a typo?
You're aiming for as close to zero as possible,. certainly not over 0.25ppm for Nitrite
And same for ammonia. Anything over 0.5 is a problem.
...just googled that kit. Do you have one aimed for a swimming pool, not a pond? If so you need another kit specifically aimed at Koi ponds.Last edited by Alburglar; 16-04-2025 at 06:22 PM.

The reading for Nitrite is reading Lo and the range it reads is 3 to 100ppm so less than 3
