    Also my initial algae treatment was Leslies Algae Control, which is poly-ethelyne dichloride, so there's di-chlor again.
    Poly-ethelyne dichloride is polyquat (actually poly [oxyethylene (dimethyliminio) ethylene (dimethyliminio) ethylene dichloride] ), not di-chlor It is actually the only algecide really recommended on this forum. Di-chlor is Sodium Dichloro-s-triazinetrione Dilhydrate.

    your cya level of 80 is not something to loose sleep over but IMHO, I would stop using any form of stabilized chorine (di-chor or tri-chlor) now and use bleach or another form of unstabilized chlorine and adjust my levels according to the chart on this thread
