How to lower high ammonia and nitrite in a nano reef tank

Ammonia and nitrite look like 0 in these pics to me. Not sure why you’re saying they are high. Nitrate always vexed me with this kit. That looks low too though.

I was going to say you are definitely not reading this correctly based on the shown color charts. Your nitrates might high it seems to be kind of more orange than yellow so probably somewhere in between 1 and 5 ppm not alarmingly so. Ammonia looks a little green in this but more yellow to me ( honestly you probably need better lighting for this). Nitrite is definitely closer to 0 ppm but the blue looks a bit off. Maybe you could try reconfirming at the fish store with a water sample before you panic. Color charts can be subjective and tricky especially depending on lighting. You can try different test kits or even a hanna checker(though) I know those can be more expensive.
