I don't understand your question. I have however only found this kit to be accurate in the high resolution mode.

nitrate concentration depend not only how many fish you have, but also how you feed them and your method of exportation. without knowing your setup and your maintnence routine, the number you supplied is meaningless. BTW, my tank NO3 is 20ppm. What does that tell you?

i have a 125 with about 130lbs of rock
all water perameters are okay...

nitrite
amonia
ph
kh
calc

so i am wondering if i am sopposed to divide it into 10 becaose 5-10 ppm sounds like a lot...

Nah, under 10 is GREAT! Mine used to go as high as 80ppm.
