Well, I got the ammonia test strips this morning and it is not showing any ammonia. Last night I added 4 182 oz bottles of bleach and performed the tests before and after. Here are my results: Before I added the bleach: FC 2.5 CC 9 TC 11.5 pH 7.8 T/A200 CYA 20 One hour after I added the...

Just got my TF 100 today!! I immediately tested everything, I was so excited. Not sure if I should be so excited though. . . Here are my results: FC .5 CC 10 TC 10.5 (when I did the yellow test, it was a 2) pH 7.8 TA 230 CH 260 CYA <20 We added some stabilizer last week. I think we added...

Thanks for the advice! I will go add the bleach now. I added the Stabilizer yesterday.

Thank you both so much! I tested it again using your method (very clear directions I appreciate!) and it was at about 20. I added about another gallon of bleach. I will test again this evening and add more if needed. I also brushed and vaccuumed a little of the green in the deep end to waste...
