started converting a cpl weeks ago and thought i was done as pool
cleared up and turned beautiful. but i have noticed that when i shock
pool it turns slightly green. i have my tf test kit now and here are my results:
ph-7.5
fc-4
cc-8
tc-12
ta-120
cya-30

is this an indication that all the baquacil isn't gone yet?

Possibly..you have high CC...you need to hold your FC at shock levels (12 in your case) until the CC are all gone...

You're done shocking when:
1)You lose 1ppm or less FC overnight, & 2)You have .5ppm CC's or less, & 3)your water is clear.
