Just getting an AGP set up. My numbers (and water!) look great, ran the Boost cycle on the SWG and have good Cl and pH levels. Added CYA to get to 80ppm. TA is a little high (150), but pH is 7.2 so I'll go with the advice to leave TA alone and just focus on dropping the pH when it get's up near 8.0. However...

Bees keep landing in the water and getting stuck. The pool is near our garden, so there are a lot of pollinators - is there something about the water that's attracting them? I can't imagine they drown themselves so often naturally in ponds. Is it because the water is so clear (not bragging :) I just filled it, we'll see if I can keep it that way).
