It looks real inviting....except for being 68 degrees! Brrrrrrr.....
Tomorrow I'll post some more numbers.

Just checked FC...dropped to 16 (from 25.5 early this morning). Today was sunny all day. Hopefully it will hold overnight. If not, should I bump it back up to 20?

Nah. Unless you have algae or slime, let it drop to levels appropriate for your current CYA level
Re: What chlorine level to shock -- now that half my CYA is gone
Thanks. No algae or slime, so I'll let it drop to normal. 5-6 seems to be the sweet spot for my pool given CYA 60-80 recommended by my SWCG manufacturer (Goldline Aqua Rite, now Hayward).

Sounds good!

7:30am this morning:
FC 13
CC 0
So it dropped 3ppm overnight. I expect by this evening it should be at the target range (hopefully not under!) and should be able to measure/tweak everything else as needed (pH, salt, CYA, TA, and borates).
