When conducting an API Nitrate test with the ReefBot Lab, if you encounter lower values, please take note of the following steps:

1. Before pouring, vigorously shake the API NO3 bottles for about 2 minutes.

2. Utilize the 20ml vials for this specific test, especially when working with API NO3 reagent 2.

3. Confirm you're using the larger stirrer magnet intended for the 20ml vials, not the ones designated for the RO and testing chamber.
