Ok - still working on this beast. The water is getting better... can almost see the bottom.... not quite, but almost.
Been doing the shock, backwash, scrub routine religiously. I have quite the collection of empty bleach bottles :lol:
Latest test results (hour ago):
FC=20
CC=1
TC=21
TA=110
CH=240
CYA=55
pH=7.2
My question is - according to the chart, my shock level is 22 FC for 55 CYA. I am at 20, so i will be adding 70 oz of bleach before bed (to bring me up to 22FC). Should I also address the pH or TA tonight or let it ride for a while until the water clears up?
Another thing - I started running my vacuum to filter for a few hours today. Is that a good idea, or should i stick with the skimmer?
