Algaecide Overdose

I would just keep addign clorox...you don't want to have a "0" FC...at least get it to register....I would add 3 gallons....and measure in an hour...and again in 3 hours.

Curent problem is I don't have much clorox on hand and won't be able to pick it up for a few days. Do you think I could just add some calcium hypochlorite until then. By the way, is it OK to add it through my strainer with a cartridge filter?

Do you know your calcium level? I have never used calcium hypochlorite so I can't say for sure how it will react with the algacide.

Nope, just what the strip gives me. PH, FC, ALK and CYA.
