I took my cover off on May 11. Wasn't terrible, but I haven't had the time to commit to doing it right. So....I've been running the filter, feeding bleach, brushing and vacuuming to waste maybe 3 or 4 times over the week. Hopefully, last night I got the last of the dead algae that has been sneaking through the filter and pooling. I finally did a full test on the the water yesterday and found my CYA to be non-existent. I put in 4 lbs. yesterday, but it's calling for 8(that's all I had). So, I can't SLAM until that goes up. My real question is do I need to? I tested around 9 am and my FC was 4. When I added the drops to test for CC, the color change was barely noticeable. 1 drop returned it to clear. Around dusk I added a gallon of bleach and tested, it took it up to 6.5. Tested this morning and it was 6. So, I passed OCLT with no stabilizer. Is that valid?
Should I SLAM??
