Thanks. I bought a taylor kit - had everything but cya - and the kit is brand new. I just bought the strips to test cya and that's it. When my first runs out I'll go on and get the big test kit.

Today the water is a hazy, milky blue. I'm assuming lots of dead algae and other crap suspended in the water. I wish it would hurry up and filter out. I just keep throwing more shock at it every day. - I know POP right? But I'm running out of time.

Thanks for the help.
