#api liquid test kit

I wanted to test my nitrates to see how the cycle is holding up with two lotls now, and if I should double my water changes. And the nitrate reading is... green??? like okay are the nitrates so damn high that they're no longer on the color scale? If they were that high you’d think the lotls would be unwell, but they’re acting normal. I may have made a testing error? I have no ammonia so I’m cycled and whatnot. I’m gonna try it again in a couple days but I want some input ??
