    Not the 3ppm of CC! Ideally, you want that to be 0. Try the chlorine tests again. These testing video demos might be helpful.

    Your pH and alk are fine.

    When you re-do the tests and re-post, please list FC and CC readings.

    0.3 CC is acceptable although I'm not sure how you got that reading. If you use a 10mL water sample, your readings are always in increments of 0.5 and if you use a 25mL sample, in increments of 0.2.

    (A CC reading of 0.5 or less is ok. If it goes over 0.5, then you'll want to take your chlorine up to your shock level.)
