    OK here are my results this AM
    TA - 110
    pH - 7.8
    FC - 1
    TC - 2
    CYA - none yet

    So I added 2 gallons on bleach and I'll test it in an hour. I need to go to the store for more bleach. Those were my last two gallons. That makes 56 gallons so far for this conversion.

    I would say it's crystal clear but it's hard to say cause I haven't seen it this way in years?

    Should I still keep loading it with bleach or am I ready to stablize it??

    given your FC of 1 and TC of 2, that tells me you have CC of 1, and you need to shock to get rid of that. Perhaps your conversion is not quite done. Is your Chlorine holding overnight?

    Don't forget to change your filter media after your conversion, and then I would think it is ok to start adding your stabilizer while you get rid of the last CC.

    I put 4 more gallons in at 11AM and it was gone by 1Pm so I put another 4 gallons in.
    The chlorine is holding better than it has been. When I put 4 gallons in last night, this AM it still was pretty high.

    I am going to keep shocking today and tommorow and then hopefully stabalize on Monday.
    Thanks for your help.

    You need to keep it at the shock level until the chlorine doesn't drop overnight. Then change your filter media and add stabilizer.
