Here are my readings this evening after passing the overnight test last night:
FC - 7
CC - 0
pH - 7.3
TA - 80
CH - 0 (this is the one I'm questioning)
CYA - 35 (will recheck in the sunlight)
Salt - 3200
I'm a bit concerned with the CH reading. I can't believe that there is absolutely no calcium in the water. My test kit is less than a year old and was kept indoors in a cabinet, so I don't think my agents are bad. The R-0011L looks a bit thick though. Don't remember the thickness of it before however, so that may be normal.
Also a bit concerned with the salt. I got a test kit this year. I thought with the filling and the winter sit, I would have lowered the salt from the levels it sat at last season due to a faulty reading causing me to put in too much salt. I assume that will come down some with some time this summer.
Can I turn on my SWG with the Calcium at that level? I'm waiting until the FC drops to 5 first, but I can wait longer if I need to bring the CH up first. Just waiting to hear from you guys. I thought I would add enough to get to 50 ppm and test again to prove my results.
