Once your FC holds, you need to add your CYA like what we talked about... Glad to see your CC's are at .5!! Do you have anymore pictures??
at 8pm my numbers were
FC 13
cc.5
I bumped up to 15. Checked at 9 and was going to bump up and check it in 30 minutes to do the over night test. AT 9 my FC was still 15,I did the test twice just to make sure, so I didn't do anything.I hope that was right. also cc was .5 at 9pm.
Will post more pictures tomorrow.

Changed filter...boy it was good to put in a CLEAN filter. I hope they stay cleaner longer with chlorine. Who knew the hardest part would be finding a tube sock, finally got it rigged up.
So now I got my CYA going in and I keep testing and keep FC up to 15 right? How often do I need to test FC and CC?
Thanks,

You can top off to 15 tonight. If you do it sooner the sun will eat it, don't be alarmed. In the morning test your FC/CC. You keep it at 15 until the CC is .5 or less for two consecutive nights, then you are tech. done.... 
My CC was .5 this morning..(the first night my FC held) does that count as one night?
also I know I have read this but....when can we swim?

I would say yes that counts. As far as swimming, some will say yes and some will say no. I personally would let my FCs drop a bit before I would get in because it will dry your skin a tad. You will probably get to swim Friday or Saturday!! Now where's those pictures your been promising?? LOL!!
With no CYA in the pool you probably don't want to swim if the FC is higher than 3-5 ish. Once you have CYA you can safely swim up to your "shock level" according to your CYA.
Yes, IMO I think last night counts as one.

Pictures coming soon..I promise.
My CYA seems to be dissolving pretty fast is that ok.I have it close to my return.Would it be ok to tie it to my ladder so it will be out of the way?

It won't dissolve as well if it's not infront of the return. YOu can set it to the side in the skimmer (so it doesn't block the water flow) if you want.
ok 7:00 pm reading
FC..6
CC .5
TA 70
PH 6.8
What do I need to do? how long should it take the CYA to dissolve and when should I test it?
