New User Getting Butt Kicked By Algae

HCL is Muriatic Acid or Hydrochloric Acid. I'm adding in order to raise my CYA level and also bring my PH and TA down.

I decided not to wait another day for the kit (and hope it actually arrives as estimated), so I added another gallon of Muriatic Acid and later shocked with 10 gallons of liquid chlorine. Hoping for better results with the extra gallons of chlorine.

I will definitely provide better readings when the Taylor test kit arrives. Thank you!

HCL or muriatic acid will not raise CYA. You need cyanuric (or isocyanuric) acid.
