iodine check

[Galvan]

Just measured my Iodine for the first time using the salifert test kit. For the iodide measurement I'm reading .08ppm and in measuring my iodate there is no reading or I guess it is .01 basically clear. Not sure if this is good or bad on the iodate. can someone help out to understand this.
