Update 7/23/11

First off I want to say that if anyone is still doubting BBB method..you should not! As I mentioned in original post. I have had my AG pool for 4 years prior to this year. Always did the pool store recommendation and had ok water at best, put alot of differnt stuff (per their recommendations) over the years. Converted over to the BBB method about 4 weeks ago and could not be happier. Had to take a sample to the pool store to get metals checked and was told I had perfect water and that I was showing it off. All I could do was chuck inside. I havent had this clear of water since the day I had the pool filled. Thanks Again to everyone here for promoting the BBB method and keeping us newbies on the right path. But back the the issue at hand.

Water checked out with no metals (zero copper and zero iron), everything else is in line with my last round of full numbers (see original post). I checked FC and CC levels this mornig as follows: FC = 4.2 and CC 0.2, so it appears the stuff may be the start of algae.. more than 1.0 ppm drop overnight?? I had a verry small amount of brown stuff on the bottom again this morning. I am going to start shocking, and I presume I need to take FC up to 30 ppm to be safe???

Also the pool store told me phosphates are at 500. Should I be concerned with this?

Thanks!
