You should still post those test numbers. Then explore our forums on testing, maintenance and algae, for starters. There are threads that are stickied, usually authored by either PoolDoc, Watermom, aylad, Poconos, or me.
Then go to PoolDoc's other site, PoolSolutions.com and read the tips that are there. This shouldn't take long and it's interesting reading (except what I wrote...--J/K )
But those test numbers will give us a baseline of what to recommend.
We almost always keep it simple, because 99.99% of all pool owner problems ARE, ultimately solved with simple solutions and ordinary chemicals, and very few have to be purchased at a pool store or in the pool section of discount houses.
The best part is it works! Like you, I came here years ago with lots of problems, having been "Pool Stored" to the point where my only other option was to drain and refill my pool. The B-B-B method (Bleach, Borax, and Baking Soda) works on the littlest pools (the one with the problems was a 15' Intex donut--3500 gallons) to the biggest (we now have a 20,000 gallon FantaSea). All you do is adjust amounts you use.
