Your numbers look pretty decent and it's good that your pool water is clear.
However, there is an error in your thinking. Tri-chlor pucks (tabs) that I think you are using have no clarifier in them.
If you would stop using the pucks and switched to Clorox, you would not have to adjust the TA and pH.
However, if you can live with the "ring", adjusting your pH, and your water is clear, your test results indicate a pretty happy pool
