So on the left is RO/DI and on right is my tank. Question is...is that color Ok? Looks to me like I might have a small trace of ammonia. Thanks

API kits are notorious for registering minor amounts of ammonia when they shouldn't..

All is likely fine..

Is there a problem you are experiencing in the tank that caused you to do an ammonia test?

Looks ok to me. If it had a slight green tint to it then I'd say no. The rodi one, was it tested with a fresh water kit?
