I think thats the nitrate test, not nitrite.API nitrite tests can be tricky. You have to shake the bejeebers out of bottle #2 to stir up the regent (It helps to smack the bottom of the bottle onto the edge of a table.) then follow instructions *exactly* for mixing, shaking, etc.
Or maybe your nitrite-fixing bacteria were working overtime, and you just missed seeing the spike.
Either way, sounds like your tank is cycled!![]()
