You should ask yourself whether you need something to improve or not. If plants and fish are looking and growing well you could skip all tests for now.

So you answered to your question yourself However all consumer type tests are very inaccurate but those all in one especially.

Hi,
You need to stop using Nitrogen test kits. They will get you into trouble faster than they can get you out of trouble. None of the numbers you reported for NO3/NO2 have any validity. Are you sure your KH is zero? Are you using RO water then?

As Edwin mentions, look at the health of your tank and that will tell you more than any test kit can.

Cheers,
