My eyes, my eyes

Thanks Carl. Whenever I check for CC, I never have it so I usually don't bother. My PH was higher last week and it didn't seem to make any difference. I think I will go the goggle or mask route. Like my 18 year old said last night, maybe I'm just getting old.

You said your CYA is 30 or less. If your FC is 5-6 that is a bit high for such a low CYa level. It could also explain why you are having trouble with mustard algae.

Well last year my CYA was way high (can't remember what) and I was continually having to shock to get rid of algae. This year it is down but I am still having bouts of algae. I started using pucks again in my floater to boost the CYA a little but I am afraid to let the chlorine drop below 5 because that's when I seem to get the algae. I think I'm confused about now.
