This is what my test kit says, it's about a year old, so unless they've changed kits since then, this is it.

- fill test tube to the 5ml line
- 7 drops of reagent #1, shake
- 7 drops of reagent #2, shake
- 7 drops of reagent #3, shake
- wait 20 minutes
If it's a light green/yellow, it's 0, the darker the colour, the more ammonia.

DanG's directions sound correct to me, same kit I have judging by his description and your picture.

Yes, 3 blue bottles, 1 and 2 are big ones and 3 is a small bottle. My box looks the exact same except where your NUTRAFIN is on the front in white on blue, mine is blue on white.
