So it doesn't turn oink, then you don't add R-0871 but you would move on to R-0003 to see if sample turns pink, etc. In other words move beyond the FC readin?

Correct. That will show you if you have any CCs.

I know the tests can seem like a lot; just take it one step at a time, read the directions. It’s not hard, just “a lot” at first. I highly recommend a Speed Stir / Smart Stir. It does all the swirling for you, so one less thing to think about, and makes it a lot easier.

Onto your test results. Since your FC has been down to 0, there’s very likely algae in the water. Time to SLAM Process

Read through the SLAM link above.

Fire away with questions!

Speed stir 100%. I was brand new at this in Sept, now its easy peasy. Put in powder for chlorine and count drops while speed stir spins. I would never not have a speed stir, ever!
