Looking back through your thread, I don't see where a SLAM was ever required. In fact, this was a new fill correct? But I am concerned about the elevated CC. That could just be from the new water itself. Your FC is slightly elevated for a normal day (not SLAMming), which is probably good right now. I would keep it that way for a day or two and watch the CC. If it (CC) gets higher or the water starts to get cloudy, kick the FC up to 12 for a SLAM. Hope that helps.
Yes it was a new fill. So correct me if I am wrong. My TA is too high and I should add muractic acid which brings down my PH and TA? Then I should aerate or add baking soda to bring my PH back up?
