    Thanks Ben - I'll up the dose to 9 gallons starting with this evening's dose.

    CC 2.0
    pH 7.3 I switched back to muriatic acid this morning.

    Evening numbers:
    FC 0.5
    CC 1.5
    pH 7.2 (put in more m. acid)
    TA 180

    Tonight the dosage increased to 9 gallons of 6% bleach - water is quite green, visibility about 20"
    Ordered a couple 5 gal carboys from Uline and found a local cleaning supply that sells 12.5% bleach for $2.75/gal. so I can keep up the dosage until the water clears - it will seem like alchemy when it does!
