Thanks! my test this morning FC=11.5 CC= 0.5 CYA=43

Day 1 four times/day, Day 2 three times/day, now twice a day. I will try the 10 ml/one scoop test this morning. I have been using 25 ml and 0.2 ppm/drop for more precise CC results.

I failed OCLT and CC was 5.5. to 6.0. So I reduced pH to about 7.2 and started a SLAM on 7/4. Since then my FC tests have varied, but increased to 13.8 this morning (Day 4). My CC tests decreased to 0.6 on Day 2 and have not gone any lower (?). For this 4 day SLAM period I have added a total...
