    Well, the CC sure looks better! There's no need to retest your TA and CH right now. (Remember that you can only accurately test pH with FC levels under 10). So don't worry about pH either for now.

    How does the water look? How often are you able to check FC?

    Get that FC back up and now that your CYA should be there, bump the FC up to a minimum of 15. Since you're working during the day, you could raise it higher in the morning so that it doesn't drop below 15 during the day. You can go higher if you don't plan on swimming.
