Thanks for the quick reply guys, appreciate you taking your time. I have not done the fingernail test, as I just read that this morning, will check though when I get the chance. I dont have logs, I have been running about 20 on CYA and added a sock last week, to bring to 40, but havent tested...

Thanks all for the help.

Oh, gotcha, yea I read a thread on that a while back... So I can’t get cya til tomorrow after work, I have some pucks that I put in cholinator after it read 0, but doubt those will amount to much. Do I keep slam going til I get CYA ?? Should I get liquid $$, so it goes up faster, or dissolve...
