check: OTO fm Leslies
check: stop pucks (you may have very high CYA - can you get Leslies to test?)
check: stop ozonator (they are pretty useless, but some may aerate enough to strip alkalinity, which you *might* need to do later.)

Since you've clearly invested so much in your pool (sounds really enticing--I'll bring the beer--Brooklyn Lager ) the test kit is CHEAP insurance. You may want to get a Taylor/Leslies salt drop testing kit as well.

It's likely that Leslies OTO kit is the Taylor OTO kit re-badged. That's what it looks like on the website. If the bottles say "Taylor" and the yellow side goes to 5 chlorine 10 bromine, then it's the Taylor, IMHO the best simple OTO kit you can get.

Since you are running a SWCG, your CYA is supposed to be fairly high, in the 60-90ppm range--check your owner's manual for what they call for. Additionally, when it's all cleaned up, you'll want to run a fairly low Total Alkalinity--60-80ppm--see Ben's comment on that and the ozonator--He knows about them, but I don't.

Never use any algaecide but Polyquat (you can find out about Polyquat on PoolSolutions.com--our sister site).
