This is my plan, stop or add to me if you so see the need....please!

Clean off cover, pull it off keeping as much of the ick on top OUT of the pool.

Hook up pump/filter and aqualuminator. Remove skimmer box cover.
Over fill the pool.
Vacuum and brush on Waste very well, then backwash, rinse, and then circulate for 24 hours and get a reading.
