just tested...

FC 5
TC 5 no change in color after adding the 5 drops of R-003, so is my TC 5 or 10? taylor kit says subtract FC from TC to get CC
PH 7.4
ALK 100

just added 1.42 gal of bleach, and ill add another 1.42 gal in a little while. i guess im on the right track here right? im holding more chlorine over night and loosing less during the day... i have only been adding the chlorine at night, but not during the day, am i doing this right?

i stopped by my local chemical "pusher" today. the only thing i bought was a 60ml bottle of R-0013 and a pack of those skimmer socks ive been reading about. i fitted two socks to my skimmer basket to see if this helps clear things up untill the new filter gets here. while there the "pusher" asked me if i had a sample of water that needed to be tested since he knows i was fighting algae, but i of coarse did not... then he asked if i "needed" anything and kinda winked at me. my answer was no. no shock, pucks, or algaecide? i said nope. a clarifier perhaps? again i said nope. i quickly paid for my reagent and socks and high tailed it out of there all the while looking over my shoulder to make sure no one was following me..... i almost caved, he almost had me when he said the word "clarifier" after all my water is still cloudy, i almost fell off the wagon my friends. i didnt have the heart to tell him that the jig is up! im off the hard stuff and on the BBB...!
