    You could go pick up some roadkill and toss it in . . . that would bring it down. No, seriously . . . You should post a complete test result so everyone can get a better idea of your other levels, particularly your CYA levels. If your CYA is high, then it shouldn't be a problem, as most chlorine would be inactive. What you really need is Ben's test kit to test for high levels of chlorine or try the shotglass method, diluting your sample then multiply it by 2x, which will give you a ballpark number. Personally, I wouldn't worry too much about it, it will come down on its own . . . just pull those tabs out asap, though. Actually, if you have been using trichlor or dichlor tabs for a while, your CYA levels may be high. Have you noticed that you seem to be using more and more chlorine to keep it clear?
