I have not lost faith in Cl. I still have 17 bottles @ 1.84 gallons each.
I am admittedly impatient. I guess after seeing it turn from green to blue, it is now difficult to see ANY progress.

Question: does the high cl levels "eat" the dead algae? Or, are we relying on the filter to get it all, while maintaining high cl just keeps more from growing?

I really do want to understand.

Also, is it totally evil to consider a little clarifier to speed up the process?
