got started 930 after 10 gal fc = 16.5 at 130
then lunch with family
430 and i down to fc= 3 wow
didnt get to much of a color show this morning but its goin great

Keep shocking to a 15FC level. You can test hourly in the beginning stages. The lack of a color show is a good sign, but that large of a FC lose is a bad sign.

I promise ya.....you'll love the change.

 

[jackd]

thanks Leebo
10 pm FC = 17 and as clear as ive ever seen

[Leebo]

What is your CC level. By the looks of the water, I'd suggest trying an OCLT tonight.

[Leebo]

By any chance did you run the vacuum or brush the bottom??

 

[Vette]

Nothing wrong, you still have Baq in the system and water, that's what's causing the CC.
