As this was our first time testing with this kit, some equipment turned out to be missing. Thus we were unable to test Ammonium or Dissolved Oxygen this time. Phosphate was tested twice, with the same result each time, however, we are are suspicious of a testing error as the result is very high. The June result has been far more reasonable.
