Algae or pollen??

Water looks great other than these deposits. I have been working on getting my TA down to 70-80, per the SWCG suggestion page. It is taking a long time and in meantime my PH rise is still very fast. I would like to start adding Borates, however, I don't feel as though I should start this process until I have the TA down to the suggested range. What's your opinion?

I really prefer to adjust one thing at a time. It takes longer that way, but I think you're less likely to make a crucial mistake in the process if you just keep it simple.
