Yes. I botched this with the thread being 3 weeks leading to SLAM, not SLAMing for 3 weeks. This is on me and I'm sorry for the side distraction.
Is that Algae?

I would- no sense in losing traction. You’re already so close to slam level might as well keep it there. Let’s knock this out.
Do another oclt tonight. Do Both oclt tests in the dark to be sure you have the sun completely out of the equation. I mean grab the samples in the dark
OK just added some more chlorine to get back up to FC 31. Will test in a couple of hours to see where it's at so I can maintain.
@Newdude @Mdragger88 How long should I wait to test to see if it goes up to 31 after I add chlorine?

Then Recheck in 15 minutes to see where you land so you can adjust future doses/volume in poolmath accordingly if needed.

Just the one time to confirm your bleach dose is accurate. If you already sorted that out just test & replenish fc every few hours. At least 3 or 4 times a day. No more than once an hour.
Tested and I have an FC of 21.5 so I added 32oz of chlorine and will test again in 15mins.

You don’t need to test after every addition if you have confirmed that your lot of bleach is achieving the desired fc level.
Not 100% sure so I will test again shortly to make sure

Just tested again and I am at FC 32! So now test every couple hours to make sure I stay at that FC and then do the overnight test.
