Barry M 73 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 He's saying that the 12% chlorine, that he put in his new 50 gallon tank, started tuning black after a day or two. Jeff I've never heard off that. I've had some old chlorine that sat outside in the heat and then all winter and it never turned black. I've also had 12% in my 125 gallon tank most of the summer and it's fine. If the tank was new it doesn't make since. My guess would be something got put in the tank either by accident or on purpose. Maybe someone is trying to sabotage the King.

Keth 15 Report post Posted September 14, 2006 What kind of tank is it Jeff? Are you just using a blue poly tank from a previous batch mounted on the trailer or is it a poly tank with legs? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
