    I will add the other 2lbs of stabilizer as soon as the other 2 lbs dissolve. I'll just take this with some patience. I know it'll take time. I'll get it I promise.

    Nature 2 system and chemicals

    I have about 1/2 lb of stabilizer in sock. So I'm gonna let that go til it dissolves. I guess I'm just too anxious here. Sorry! But I won't take another reading until maybe Monday. Water is crystal clear. All other readings were fine, opening up my can of POP as we speak. Thanks
