I never had much issue with it and add it to my res daily (though I do monitor the total chlorine regularly). If I can track it down, I'll post up a study done on lettuce using a weekly shock dose of chlorine (i think the ppms were 1, 5, 20) if I can track it down again

In that small of a amount it'll be fine. But you shouldn't be needing it on a regular application feeding schedule.

Your going to have to carefully lift the lid and slide out the res. Find something to put underneath for a few mins. You can just prop the lid up with something.

Good to hear glad I could help! Keep an eye on them though. Sometimes that shit can come back with vengeance fairly fast depending on what it was.
