Re: Help Please Algae filters came but no test kit/5 more da My PH isn't greater then 10ppm, it's is at 8.5. The CC is half of .5. I don't think that replacing the water is very practical considering that the water is so hard here coming out of the tap. I put in 1 gallon of Muriatic Acid and am...

Re: Help Please Algae filters came but no test kit/5 more da Alright thanks, just to be clear, the CYA doesn't usually change as your slamming does it? And if it does then how often do I test it and adjust. I just did the third treatment. I have been waiting and testing the fc right before I do...
