Confusing Ph reading

It says the ph on the high ph scale is lower than the lowest scale. And on the regular ph, it shows higher than the highest scale. So what would it be? I have gotten this on multiple tanks.

 

Can you include pictures ?

Sure, Here.

 

Your pH is likely around 7.6. I know the higher pH test is a bit more complex, either that or it's actually at 7.8 now that I am looking closer. Try looking in a bright light at it.

 

The high Ph looks super yellow, so I figured that is the lightest shad after orange it can show. And the low Ph is really just a little darker than the darkest blue shown.

Thanks I actually have similar readings. Since both tests are different you will get different results. It just means that your pH is at around 7.4 - 7.6. Although at least from the picture, the high pH looks to be lighter than 7.4, maybe 7.8. So a good medium is about 7.6. What Drog mentioned is a good idea. Maybe include another picture with the vials against the white part of the booklet, I know that helps me see the readings more accurately

I feel that always makes the vials look darker, I think from drawing from the colors in its, I guess perifial vision, if you will.

IRL they look darker than 7.6. The camera distorts the colors, a little with the yellow too, but it's still yellow.

 

I can't take any more pics tonight, my mom went to bed.

I get these reading too, best I can do is estimate between the 2.
