Should be less than 0.5 ppm. This is WAY too high, and indicates that there is STILL stuff needing oxidation.

All fine. It wouldn't hurt to use borax to raise your pH, however. The by-products of the oxidation process tend to be 'nicer' at a higher pH level.

CYA It was less than the 100 mark (was not sure what number to put)
This indicates that your CYA level is MORE than 100 ppm. That's consistent with the theory that you had high CYA, that was partially metabolized by bacteria to form ammonia.

You'll eventually need to retest, using a 50:50 dilution of pool water with DISTILLED water, and multiply the result x2. You must use DISTILLED water and not "spring" water or any of the other variants: http://www.walmart.com/ip/10315382
