When do you balance salt? Am I planning my opening properly?

2 hours is best. 3 hours does fine too.

Yup. Cloudy and or substantial FC loss means no need for CCs or OCLTs.

Look at you putting things together. (y)

15 is fine. Just long enough to mix up the last bit that was produced.

You know we got you. I know you know. :)

Whoop! You're the best! 😃

Two more questions lol (yeah, right): I did my washing soda to raise my pH. How long until I should test it again? And for CYA, I use a mesh bag dangled in front of return-- is it ok to do while it's raining or should I wait?

Whew. Am I driving ya guys crazy yet? 😄

Come on! I haven't eaten my breakfast yet!! Yikes.

When I use that test, it's like a light switch: yellowish, drop, yellowish, drop, ..... yellowish, drop, dark-reddish-brown. It's instant.

15 mins with circulation for anything but CYA or salt. They take a full day.

Listen. If you want me to be your excuse for not getting wet........ then fine. Blame Newdude and hold off until it stops raining. But between you and me, rain never matters in the short term. It will add up over time, months even, and dilute you. But other than that, it doesn't matter. :)

😂🤣 Honestly I don't mind the rain one bit, as long as it isn't freezing cold. If it won't mess up my CYA then I'll go get er done 😄

Ugh! You got me again. I got jammed up on a project earlier, and am actually just now making my eggs. No salmon flakes for me!!

Ahhg! I was going to include a pic of some salmon guts, just to get you back, but I just ended up grossing myself out even more!!! Maybe I'll just have some nice oatmeal...
