FC: 5
CC: 0
pH: 7.5
TA: 100
CH: 475
CYA: 40
I just started using TFP about two weeks ago, and my water is looking better than ever. I did an initial SLAM, and my FC levels have been good. However, I've noticed a bit of green algae forming the last two days. I was expecting my FC to be low, but today it was at 5.
I have been lowering my TA for a week now. It was at 220 a week ago. So I have been adding MA each day to bring PH down to 7.0 and using my fountains to create aeration to bring the PH back up.
It's possible that I have miscalculated the size of my pool (10,000 gallons). It's basically a 29 foot long kidney-shaped pool with an extra half circle sitting area, and only five feet deep in the middle.
Any thoughts on why I'm seeing algae forming?
Thanks,
Jim
