Yeah sis' golden Max is about 5 just a baby still and VERY SPOILED. BTW I added the bleach, muriatic, and baking soda. I have my liquid conditioner but m waiting for another reading before I add. Its windy and cool so I'm not worried about the bleach being burned off as yet, I just have to know how much to put in. Would just putting in a whole gallon now make any difference? My cl is 3.0
