TF100 just got here today so here are the numbers!
Please dont combine my post I would like to start over
PH - 7.5
FC - 4.5
TC - 5.0
CC - 0.5
CYA - 45
CH - 25
TA - 90
Borates 40
Lets talk about the test a little except the CYA and Borates
CYA at 40 I could still make out the dot if i stared at it long enough but half way to 50 it was gone no matter how I looked at it
Borates the color looked somewhere between 30 and 50 so I am calling it 40
The SPEED STIR IS AWESOME!!!!!!
Water is crystal clear and has been for some time now other than lots of dirt on the bottom (it rained a few days here and haven't vacuumed since Sunday)
I do have ALGAE in very small quantities but it did come back in low flow areas (around ladder and one skimmer)
So I am off to do some reading about slamming while I wait on further advice about CH levels
At this point I plan to backwash tonight after a quick vacuum and start the slam in the morning with a fresh filter and pick up some DE to add tomorrow.
What do you think?
