Question ?? , should you test water after feeding , I have a couple of times due to getting home late from work and trying to keep feeding on regular schedule , so feed and then test water as I did tonight and Nitrate was up to around 20 ppm and Nitrite was really nothing but was not perfectly clear with Red Sea test set. Does Feeding have anything to do with this. Thanks

Take a water sample in a clean bottle and feed the fish.
While they eat dinner you'll do all your test and don't have false readings from your dosed food.
