    OK, when do I consider clarifier ? or a floculant ?
    I have been after the water for about 2 weeks now
    FC 5
    CC 0
    TC 5
    PH 7.2
    Alk 80
    CH <1
    CYA 55
    temp 75
    Water is still slightly cloudy, can see bottom, but not diagonal to other side.

    Any suggestions ? kept the chlor at 11-15 ppm (per the CYA shock table) all week until yesterday (5 days)
    Any ideas ? Am I missing something ? Plus, I never got a response regarding the borax, and how to properly add... for PH and for Borates ?
