Nitemare contimues !! ...16 days and NO change...The green ,cloudy mass is still holding me at bay...

Via Marie (mbar) suggestion, I tried the Vitamin C "capsule in a sock" method, rubbed it on the sidewalls of the pool and saw stains disappearing :>...Within the hour, i was down to the pool store buying a metal out product, praying that was FINALLY my issue....I waited all day yesterday for the FC to drop to 2 (as suggested by the pool store) and PH at 7....i applied the product, filtered overnite and as of 5 minutes ago, there's been no change.... Although my patience is LONG, LONG Gone, I'll wait a day or two to see if the metal out does anything.....If not, I'll attempt the Ascorbic acid routine...

Ironically enough though, yesterday was the first day since opening that I let the FC levels drop below 20...while the 96 degree sun "baked out" the FC, I started seeing traces of the pool bottom..?? Coincidenc or not ?? I dont know.....

Prior to the metal out:
FC : 2
PH:7.2
ALK: 100
CYA: still awaiting a test..

I'm just hoping this is REALLY a metals issue, so that I can finally tackle THAT problem first hand...
