I'm on my 3rd day of the conversion, and so far I have used about 22 gallons of 12.5%. I still have another 60 or so gallons of 12.5% on standby. (It was on sale for 1.99/gal)
I've read to let the chlorine circulate for about 30 minutes to allow for proper mixing. Someone can comment if I'm wrong on this.
I think the biggest thing to be sure of is making sure you have enough chemicals in your test kit to continually check your FC level. I order reagents for my kit since my kit only came with .75 oz bottles...I'm still waiting on the delivery guy who should be here any day now. Hope he gets here before I run out!

Nice green color you got there! They more often you can check and raise that FC up to 15 ppm, the quicker it will turn hazy, and eventually clear!
