hi guys, so the powder in my nitrate test got damp somehow, now its just kinda clumpy and damp looking. my nitrates are reading a lot higher than usual now, can i assume that my test is no good and get a new one before i go into emergency mode?

Definitely get a new kit. Nitrates aren't necessarily as bad as they are made out to be. For sure you don't want them too high or too, low but you should be fine for a couple days till you get a new kit.
