Trying to SLAM but FC not rising

Nice. Looks like you beat the ammonia into submission, and quickly too :D

Since you're in the SLAM phase now, if you took the filter out before I think now would be a good time to put it back in, and maybe put a knee-high stocking or similar over the skimmer basket to catch more dead algae. Brushing like crazy generally helps as well -- makes sure all the algae has an opportunity to meet chlorine.

Just keep the FC at or above SLAM level until you meet the criteria for ending the SLAM -- water clear, CC no higher than 0.5, and passing an overnight chlorine loss test. The filtering part is usually the longest.
 
Once the ammonia is taken care of, the FC will start to kill off any left over algae.

Keep SLAM'ing the pool. :goodjob:
