    ok as far as the skimmer, that has to be cleaned through out the day... for instance when i turned the pump on, about a half hour later, empty the basket and about every hour after that, on most days. I definatley have to brush the shallow end every day, you can see the black dirt form on the...

    - - - Updated - - - the last picture was the best i could get it before i found this site, ofcoarse the cya level was waaaayyyy over 100, so this was as good as it would get with store bought shock. At this point it wasn't bubbly and no longer smelled of sewage.

I have been using liquid chlorine. But am thinking of some pucks to try to keep the cya level closer to...
