Thanks Watermom. I did it the way they are explaining and it never works out for me. everything else but the FC works. The powder stuff was spilled inside the kit when i got it and i poured it back in the container so i just wonder if that may be the problem.

Anyway, i just keep putting 3 jugs in 3 times a day and it seems to work. And this morning, I can see the bottom of the deep end. yippee! but, there is tons of dead algae on the bottom and some of it is probably still alive because when i scoop it with the net, it's still a little. I would imagine that when it's completely dead, it will not clump into the net and sift through it.

So, i will just keep adding the chlorine for the next few days and see where i am at. Any tips on getting the dead algae out besides running it through the filters?
