    Get your FC up to 25 ppm tonight. Retest 1 hour later to make sure you hit that target. If not, add more bleach. If you have time over the weekend, maintain FC at 25 by testing and adding bleach at least 3 times per day. Some people only recommend 3x/day but I think a 4th would only help if you have time. And no more Di-Chlor panicking!
