    Oh, Cool I hadn't picked up on that, Thanks... Anyway I did all ofthe tests i the HTH kit this morning. Here are the results:

    TC = 3 ppm (Interesting that this isn't a "Free Chlorine" test)
    pH = 7.5 ??? (Tested the tap water and it said the same... city must have done something to change the pH since the last check of the fish tank water)
    CYA = 35ppm (Looks like I aimed the dose correctly... still a bit of Stab left to dissolve, but not much)
    TA = 160ppm
    TH = 320ppm

    I like the way they say its a "6-way kit" when they're combining Chlorine and Bromine tests so you only get to do 5 tests...

    "Marketing" -- the American way of lying professionally, outside the court room.

    By the way, your PF is 184 . . . so 1# of stabilizer will give you a CYA level of 184, AND 1 gallon of plain 6% household bleach will add about 90 ppm of chlorine to your pool.

    So, 1/2 cup of bleach (4 fl oz) will give you a chlorine dose of about 3 ppm.
