I would eire on the side of they are high.

the test to the right looks like 4 is its limit? Might have instructions for testing above the 4mg/l limit. Tetra from my experience is similar to the api. Ok in the middle range hard to read at the low and kinda a rough estimate towards the high.

Never used that test, but if 4 is the limit it seems it could still be considerable greater than 4ppm.

This is what I don’t get! It looks three ppm to me on that, but 70 odd on the test on the right

Strange. I guess I would run the tests again. Have you tested with these tests before? Do you know where Nitrate was trending? In other words, which seems more reasonable?
