Should water tests be read with a light shining through it, and held
up against the white part of the card, or in shadow, held up against
the white
part of the card?

I don't think it matters much really as long as the same amount goes
through the tester as hits the color gradients. For me, i have always
tested without adding light that would cast any heavy shadows as well
as testing before any changes to the water. :-)

It makes a big difference. If I shine light through it, it reads 0. If I
don't, it reads 2.
