    sounds like you are ready to swim! GOOD WORK!
    The only test that I didn't see was you CYA (stabilzier). What type of chlorine are you using for normal sanitation? Pucks or bleach? Post your CYA levels and the type of chlorine you are using and we can get this finished. Your pool should be clear and clean now.....just keep monitoring the chlorine and pH and keep them in line! Ph should be kept between 7.2 and 7.6 ideally and chlorine is dependant on your CYA levels.
    If I remember properly you CYA was at 18 ppm....if you are using pucks then it will continue to climb. If you are using bleach you need to add some stabilzier to get it between 30-50 ppm. check out this thread for where to run your chlorine and where to shock for your stabilizer level.

    Perfect! Just keep tabs on your pH ( between 7.2-7.6), chlorine (for right now about 3 ppm, when the CYA gets higher you will have to raise the chlorine levels to compensate), and your CYA (when it gets over about 60 ppm you should stop using the tabs and just use bleach to chorinate or you will have to drain and refill once it gest above about 80 ppm)
    ENJOY THE POOL AND HAPPY SWIMMING!!!!! YOU DID IT!!!!!!!
