My main question is how to I need to handle the chemicals. With the original build I was told that I could NOT use any stabilizer for the first 30 (?) days. So I ran the stabilized tablets. Since that time I have ran almost exclusively liquid chlorine.

I plan to pull all the lights and clean inside the wells real good. I'll also try to get all the skimmers cleaned up.
Is there any other maintenance items I should take care of while the pool is empty?
I do have 1 Large LED light that has failed, but I won't be able to get that coordinated this weekend.
