Algae question

[greggtraylor]

All my numbers are ok but I have a hint of green in pool. What is best to treat with?
CC 3
pH 7.8
TA 80
CYA 70
Salt 3200

Follow the SLAM Process. Read the article and check back with any questions.

As I am SLAMing do I worry about the pH during this time? It’s getting higher.

 

[mknauss]

As shown in the SLAM Process article, the pH is to be adjusted to 7.2 prior to the start. Once your FC is above 10 ppm, the pH test result is invalid.

Ok good. My FC is 26 now.

On my original numbers the CC was actually FC. I tested for CC and found none. Obviously I still have issues with that result bit am I doing things wrong? I am new to this and trying to figure it out. No CC.

No CC is not unusual. Just test for FC during the SLAM process.
