You all are so helpful! Things are looking good this morning I think!
Yesterday, we started with adding 3 jugs of bleach and scrubbed the walls. 30 minutes later, that brought our fc from 0 to 5 so we added 2.5 more jugs (up to 8.5), added 2 more jugs (up to 13!) We waited about an hour and fc dropped to about 10.5 so we added 1 more jug and put in 10 lbs of CYA. This morning we are at 11.5 fc and still .5 cc or less.
So, now what? Do I need to keep testing every couple of hours? Twice a day? Are we trying to keep fc up in the 12 range or are we now trying to get fc back down to around 4?
I can't thank you all enough for your advice!

Also, it's supposed to be 95 and sunny here today - I'm a little worried about chemicals burning off. I'm assuming I still need to leave our new solar cover off while my fc is at shock level?
