    Maybe you are still metabolizing something.

    Also, if you add polyquat, the FC will drop over 48 hours.

    I haven't added any Polyquat, yet.

    I'm going to search on dissipation rates, but is there any other std rate available?

    You may need a little higher CYA to stabilize better. I had no reading on my CYA test, so I went an got a floating feeder w/ a few 3" pucks to get some into the mix. When it gets up to ~50, then I'll start the bleach. The pucks really are easier, they just need to make 'em w/o CYA!!
