Seachem nitrate nitrite test

[GSnake]

Hi,
Just bought this test kit for my tank. Everything in my tank is ok but my sps has been giving me trouble, so this is a step in figuring out why.

Can I have a second opinion on this reading? The result in the top left is my reef tank. The bottom middle is the reference test... Suppose to be at 10 nitrate.
Don't mind the top right.. it's my malawi tank

What would you say is the nitrate level?

 

[Flippers4pups]

5-7.5 ppm

 

[GSnake]

5-7.5 ppm

Turns out my nitrate is actually 3 ish. After contacting seachem with my concern about the results they said to try less sample water... Despite the booklet saying two pipettes full. I used one pipette today and it yielded accurate results. Have a look!

Use one pipette folks!

When you added a pipette of water did you fill the whole pipette or did you only fill the base of the pipette?
