Yellow Staining, Acorbic Acid Works Well, BUT.....

Glad the cloudiness cleared up.

I sure hope those weren't Tri-Chlor tabs you put in the skimmer! With your CYA of 100, those are the worst things to use as they will send your CYA into even worse zones.

Remember Marie suggesting you drain and refill to reduce CYA? It will be even more necessary! ALL tri-chlor tabs release large amounts of CYA whether they are listed as "stabilized" or not. Don't use them with your current water situation!.

If, however, you used Cal-Hypo tabs (which I highly doubt) and your calcium hardness level is reasonable, then you'd be fine.

Some good news... With the water cleared up, I added 4 pounds of ascorbic acid followed by two bottles of pro team metal magic and so far this is the best it has looked after a week... fingers crossed...
