This morning I tested and I figure I lost 1 ppm over night (from 5 to 4 - I deliberately didn't add any yesterday so the test results would be in the range of my test kit - If I shock again so high that I have to test for losses on the high range I'll wait until I have the titration). I then added 4.5 gallons and 4 oz of Poly 60 (maintenance dose). I came back tonight and it's clear and what I would define as sparkling - I can finally see the bottom and our polaris crystal clear from many feet away. Though there were was still some of the algae "dust" along the floor and concentrated in certain areas. I think it is congregating in the areas that get shade. Tonight I vacuumed by hand and it's nearly all gone. I hesitant to say it's all gone since there was the congregation but we'll see what results are tomorrow. My test results now: CYA 20 or so (results of dilution - see prior post - I added some more tonight to try to boost it to 40ish range), PH 7.4, FC 5, TA 80, CH 200 (CH tested last week).
Here's are pictures I took tonight before vacuuming or brushing:

Both the above was before the vacuuming tonight - You can see how most of the floor is dark and there's some white streaks. There was some of the (assuming dead) algae dust, but most of the color is a yellowish stain which I've been assuming is an organic stain from the MA. I"m hoping it will fade over time if I keep the bleach up.
