Just a little update now that I’ve had things dialed in for awhile. Initially I had my CYA on the low end of the range which was allowing for some FC loss prematurely. Boosting the CYA has made a world of difference. Now that thing s have been smooth sailing I only add about 4 cups of 12.5% LC...

Updates? I completed my conversion early spring after using CDX for a number of years. I definitely think at least 50% drain should be added to the conversion process instructions if CDX has been used.

Man this thing looks good. Seriously, I cannot get over it.

And boom! Thank you guys for the support and help along the way.

Yeah I’m on top of it. Thanks guys. It’s beer time.

Alright, now that the filter is all back together and running, given the amount of water I exchanged should I basically adjust pH if needed and do another OCLT before adding the CYA? Or should I just boost the FC and go with it.

Looking much better. Filter all cleaned out with no issues. Heading to Lowe’s to see if I can find a tank / cylinder stand since mine is broken. As soon as that’s running I’ll fire it all up.

It’s already filling back up??

I drained down to the bottom step. Definitely significant. Had to call it quits on vacuuming out the filter for tonight due to rain and starting to get dark. I’ll pick back up in the morning. On my downtime I just went back through the skimmer baskets and returns, cleaning everything and soaking...

Taking a break from vacuuming sand.
