    Not doing much yet except chlorinate with pucks. I'm trying to get him to do it by your guidelines. But I guess I stepped in too late,.fresh water would've been better.

    An update on the situation: have been adding liquid chlorine 6% for 4 days now, total of 380 oz (11 ltr). And daily brushing. The results are slow and small. Also tried lowering pH by adding muriatic acid, slight change as well. Yesterday's pH was lower, but had some rain last night so maybe...

    Algae advise please
