FC is the most important thing for you do do right now. You can add CYA and chlorine at the same time, btw.
My current readins are:
PH 7.4
ALK 50
Chlorine 1.5 (yes, it's low)
CYA 20
It's just gotten hot an sunny so I haven't added any stabilizer this yer. Last year I was using tablets, but I dumped them for the BBB method.
So if I'm right my CYA should be around 40 and my chlorine should be at least 5-7.
Should I bring my cya up first then bring the chlorine up to at least 5?
Just trying to make sure I do it in proper order.
thanks for any tips.

You want your FC to be around 10% of your CYA. Don't let the FC drop too much lower.
