Ok, I got my TFT 1000 yesterday and got the following result
FC 3
CC. 5
TC 3.5
TA 500
CH 110
CYA 20
PH. 7.2

Questions are do I need to amend the water or is it safe to cover and close? Temp is 68 degrees thanks for helping- Melinda

I hope you have the CH and TA numbers switched or that the TA is wrong. :shock:

If the TA is correct I'd try to get that down a good bit before you close.

The only other thing I'd do is raise the FC to 10 ppm right before covering it.

You can stop shocking when you pass the OCLT (You lose 1ppm or less FC overnight, & You have .5ppm CC's or less) & your water is clear.

Thanks Dave, I retested and it was bad math. TA is 50. So I will bring FC up to shock level according to CYA leve and let circulate for a couple hours and close.
