is it possible for a water test kit to go bad?
i have one made by red sea. when i had ammonia spikes, it used to read orange, but now it turns dark brown.
i tested a "control" (tap water) and didn't get any brown, so it still seems to be detecting ammonia, but the brown instead of orange is making it difficult to determine an exact ppm.
i didn't leave the cap off or anything like that, and a week ago it was normal. ever hear of this?
