    If you see cloudiness and your TC=0 and your CYA= 30, you'll need to get FC to 15, CC to 0, and TC to 15.
    You added about 6ppm of chlorine--not enough.

    Carl's right, as always--if you don't get some chlorine in there quick, you're going to be fighting more than just calcium deposits, as evidenced by the cloudiness. Also keep in mind that when you're testing for pH, your results are going to be artificially high if your TC is higher than 10 ppm, so I wouldn't treat a high pH unless your chlorine is below 10 and you're sure you have the right number.

    Thanks for the advise on the TC levels. What can I do about the cal deposits ? Sides still seem a little rough

    thanks

    I would keep your TA and pH low, and stop using cal-hypo for chlorinating--switch to bleach.
