    No, you don't need any more CYA which is what stabilizer is. Yours is already too high which is why you are doing the partial water changes.

    Don't wait; start dosing with chlorine NOW! It is much, MUCH easier to avoid algae, than to clean it up. A single algae episode can consume a month's -- or in bad cases, a season's -- worth of chlorine!
