    One other thing, your TA is too high. See the sticky in the alk forum for directions on lowering it. Aim for 80-100.

    Thanks a lot. My pH today is reading 7.8- 8.0 still. Do I need to filter or recirculate?

    Aim for 7.2 to 7.5--your chlorine will be a lot more effective then. But you STILL need to shock up your chlorine to proper levels to kill the bio-matter.
