My metal out/Ascorbic treatment brought my FC to zero. I understand that the surplus AA is going to eat up the chlorine for awhile. Any thoughts on when I should start trying to add chlorine back? Right now I have my SWG turned off and am hoping the algae will give me a break and not bloom while my FC remains zero. So when do I try to re-chlorinate? And should I add liquid shock or just turn the SWG back on?
