I have a 24' X 54" AG. 1 month old. When I first filled it, added salt, 4lb stabilizer, shocked, and was crystal clear, but with a green tint.
After one week green turned blue, all was well.
SWG said high salt, so drained 20% and refilled. Shocked, all was well.
bout a week went by, some evap, and splashout(about 3 inches) topped off, tried to shock(evening) and shock clumped in skimmer. (this is where I went askew) when I found this, I borke it up and added enough shock to still shock it, sky high i know, but should have been plenty. Water started clouding. Still nice light blue, but 7 days later, still cloudy. CYA is GONE, not sure why. According to what I drained and added and such, should be around 20.(low I know) the strips I have suck.
FC 1-3
CYA reading 0
ph somewhere in the middle (my strips SUCK)
alk 60 - 120
Why the cloudy? I was doing so well for a rookie for about 2wks. :-(
tried clarifier on suggestion from a friend, no change
Oh and I'm eating filters like every other day!! Really not getting that one.
