So I started my SLAM on Monday, and had fairly consistent results, with no overnight losses on Wed, Thurs I didn't get readings at all, and now its Fri (Day 5) and my FC level has dipped from 22 to 17, water looks good with no perceptible algae. My readings today:
17 FC
0 CC
500 CH
140 TA
7.8 PH
I know PH will be off during SLAM, I guess the only question is whether the loss of 5 FC over more than a 24 hr period is a concern; should I bump back up to 20, or let it come down gradually and assume I'm OK? The more precise way is to bring it to 20 and do another OCLT tonight/tomorrow, but thought I'd check in with the experts. . . .
TIA,
Joel
