Could anyone kindly assist me in determining what my parameters are? I bought the API master test kit and then remembered I am colorblind once I got to work lol. I can see the ph is a dark tone but I can’t tell specifics or what anything else is

Tank size – 5.5 , temperature around 78-80, water changes 1x a week about 20-30% using a siphon, tank mate is a nerite snail, feed new life spectrum micro pellets 3-4 2x a day, decorations are all live plants or silk plants
not sure about pH, could you also post a normal range test too?
ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate are all 0
Id say 8.0, 0, 0, little over 0
Upload a pic to Gemini and ask it! It helps
Probably it would be better to put something white background (like white paper) behind those test vials, may be better to estimate colour from pic.
Coming in late to add: Color Blind Pal (app) has a function that allows you to use your camera to pinpoint a color and then it will tell you the exact color description with Pantone comparisons.
So for me
PH : 8.0 very close to 8.2.
Ammonia : 0.25
Nitrite : 0
Nitrate: 0
8, negligible, negligible, about 3-5ppm.
So, you’re getting nitrates and are almost finished cycling probably.
