Yep, you're doing fine and Marian is a pro.
Roger that. I was a bit disheartened by the other threads....

That's the point. You are doing everything as you should so there's not much for people to add. Good job!
Sorry for the late post, but thanks for your help Marian!
I think a lot of my problems may have rooted from treating for 4500 gallons when I should have been treating for 3600 gallons.
I went camping over the weekend, making sure that before I left on Friday, that I was at 20ppm. I was a bit worried as it was still not clear, but it was becoming more and more blue.
It turns out that I didn't have to worry about Saturday, as it was at 15ppm on Sunday and BLUE!
I will take a better pic, but this was yesterday when I got home from work. I figured I would keep an eye on it and Monday it was 14ppm, Tuesday was 13ppm and yesterday, it was still at 13ppm.
I'm going to keep a close eye on it over the next couple days, but I think she's recovered nicely. Just a bit cloudy now...no algae to be seen.
Pic was a bit in the shade yesterday evening. I could see the bottom very clearly this morning, but didn't take a pic.

Congrats on clearing it up!
I'd retest your CYA level, sounds you read it too low, the test is hard to get right and reading too low gives you FC levels which are too low as well.
