Kindly list test readings. CYA, FC, TA, PH, CC (Dont need that until water is clear to save on reagents) OCLT. Keep maintain of SLAM or Shock levels until water is clear or you will have to start over, and algae will take foothold again. Keep ph at 7.2 until you pass OCLT and until water is clear. Update signature with filtration medium, method, and brand type and hp size of pump. Any pictures ?

Welcome to the forum.

A SLAM Process is not a one time addition of chlorine..... as soon as you see the FC drop below SLAM target you should be adding chlorine to maintain the SLAM.

What is your CYA level, and how do you test? Did you have to adjust your pH for the SLAM?
