    Looks pretty good. One comment I would make is that your calcium hardness is climbing pretty quickly. I assume you are shocking with cal-hypo. You want CH to be between 200-400. If it gets too high, you can have issues with cloudy water. So, you may want to switch to liquid chlorine at some point.

    Thanks for the I input Watermom. Is Clorox bleach ok? Right now I have my chlorine tab dispenser turned off till the FC drops more.

    Yes, as long as it is plain bleach. No scented stuff, etc. Actually many of us use Walmart's generic bleach which is cheaper than Clorox.
