Another newbie in need!

Get the algae cleared up and then worry about your calcium levels.. Is the pool clearing? Is it cloudy? I suggested cal-hypo since you need calcium anyways, but *if* the pool is cloudy or not clearing up while you are having to shock it, you might switch to bleach for the shocking and then can switch to cal-hypo after it clears up. If it isn't cloudy, you can go ahead and use the cal-hypo.

Trichlor is very acidic and will drop your pH. Just watch it and add Borax when needed.

Hope this helps.

No algae at all, water is crystal clear. I'm just not sure if I should add calcium to get my levels up quickly, or wait it out and use cal hypo

I think I would just use the Cal-Hypo--the levels do need to come up, but I think they'll come up quickly enough if cal hypo is your main chlorine source.
