Add borax 1/2 box at a time.
Thanks everybody. The algae is gone! We've tested, and we're ready to fill up. Just want to double check a few things and see what needs added. Vacuuming to waste got rid of about 1 - 1.5 feet of water, and here are our latest results.
FC - 6.5
CC - .5
TC - 7
pH - 6.8 to 7. (Probably closer to 7)
Alk - 90
CYA - 48
I'd really like to raise the pH about .3 or so if possible, to be safe. I have baking soda and borax ready to go, just need to know what to add. Again, thanks for all the help, you guys rock.

Add it to the skimmer slowly while the pump is running, breaking up any clumps.
Looks like we are good. All levels are where they need to be. Can't thank you guys enough. Last question. (I think, lol) When we close the pool at the end of the year, what exactly do we need to do? Just trying to get this implanted in my head now so i don't feel lost in September/October.
