It will not stratify at all. Over winter you may get some layering, but that is due to the added rain, snow on the top. Once mixed, it will not separate.
Yeah I think my water is around $.01-.02 per gallon... so it might range from $150-$300 to fill it half way

Bioactive reducer is an expensive gamble with a pretty poor track record. Reverse osmosis will cost as much as you spent at the pool store if its even available where you live. Draining is the best option. In your case, probably 75%, except you can't take that much out at once lest you float the liner. You'll need to leave a foot or so in the shallow end, refill, circulate, retest, and go from there. Probably two half-drains will get the CYA down to something useable.
Awesome, and plain ole generic bleach is okay? Don't get the liquid shock or anything like that? Also, once pool is clear do I return to using chlorine tablets? Or do you guys avoid using them and just manage with bleach?
What type of "shock" is it? Dichlor and trichlor will raise CYA quickly, but remember they are also very acidic.Tested my water this morning, pool is crystal clear and I have absolutely no CC, but am losing FC (3ppm over night) so I ran another CYA test and I now am showing it is super low, the tube is full and I can still see the indicator so it is far less than 30ppm. I think I may have been getting a false high due to my water being so cloudy earlier. What is the best way to raise CYA, I read the pool school section and don't have any Stabilizer on hand but I do have 2 5g buckets full of pucks and 17 1lb bags of shock would crushing some of those pucks up and putting them in the skimmer work? Or should I go by some stabilizer?
That pH may not be right if FC is above 10 but anyway...99% dichloro-s-triazinetrione hydrated
55% available chlorine
Pool current pH is 8.1
