The question is... how high does it need to be to be an effective algaecide?
Ouch! I was hoping you were running less than 25 ppm. Obviously you don't have too much room to move here. If you did adjust, I wouldn't go any higher than 30 ppm, and that might be pushing it as it is.

Where is Tom when you need him?
