![]() have you tried getting a second opinion ? That does seem odd! I'd try another test kit or ask a Local Fish Store to test your water for you to see if they get the same result.

![]() You can't get nitrates from pure salt water nitrates are a result of the the breakdown of ammonia to nitrite to nitrate so even tap water shouldn't have any, if there is some the prefilters and RO alone will grab it even before DI. Grab a new test kit nitrate tests are notoriously sucky for what Shade of pink am I looking at
