    I just checked with the heater mfg and it says to keep TA @ 120-150 which is a little higher than recommended on this site and to adjust calcium to 200 300. Thanks for the tip. I never considered the heater requiring calcium. Just trying to sort all of this stuff out before hand. Any thoughts on the higher TA?

    You will love your fiberglass pool! I run mine with calcium of about 150. I find using the bleach, baking soda, and borax combination works best for my pool. If you have any metals, be sure to put in a sequestering agent - fiberglass pools tend to stain if there are any metals in the water. A sequestering agent will hold the metals in suspension which will avoid pool staining. Other than that you won't need anything else.
