Re: Chemical Dosing Help
I test every 3 days until it's stable and I'm not making any adjustments anymore. Make small changes and test at the same time each day.
After it's stable I test every other week or so. A typical partial W/C won't make much of an impact with that level of consumption. You will hardly notice the effect on your test kits.
