    I would believe your CYA numbers since you haven't added any. If you have added it is my understanding that it takes awhile for the CYA to dissolve and get mixed well.

    I would say to keep ahead of the curve and keep the FC up until you get some CYA. The sun will burn through your chlorine super fast without CYA so you might add it several times a day.

    Post some pictures, I would like to see your set-up. Sounds like a great pool.

    I'll post some pics as soon as I get the landscape around it finished up. I hate seeing my yard messy...lol.

    Are the other levels okay? ph, CH, TA, etc....

    I'm not really an expert, but to this amateur they look OK. I'm sure Pooldoc will chime in.

    They like the TA to be a little higher so you might look at that. You said you've got an above ground so I assume it's a vinyl liner and I don't think CH is too important with a vinyl liner.

    If it were me I would get the chlorine up, it's easier to stop an algae outbreak than it is to fix the aftermath. Just be careful on how you apply the chlorine, you don't want to bleach your liner out.

    I would listen to Pooldoc or one of the other experts, I'm still at "dangerous bystander" phase LOL.

    Good luck.
