Don't worry about your TA level till the conversion is complete. TA at 150 isn't a big deal.

It has only been 3 days since I added the cya, but the water is so clear that I couldn't wit to run the test! Here are the numbers I have so far:
FC 9.5 CC .5 TC 10 PH 7.2 CH 120 CYA 25
I know the cya has to come up, but should I wait the full 5 days before I add?
Thanks!

Yes, wait till five days after adding CYA, then test the level and then adjust from there.

Ok, I waited the 5 days and tested. Here are the results! FC 8 CC 0 TC 8 PH 7.2 T/A 150 CH 120 CYA 45
According to the calculator all I really need to do is bring my PH up by adding borax. Does that sound right?
I am leaving for a week, so Wednesday is the last day I have to get my water balanced. I will have someone checking my Chlorine level, but they won't be able to use the TS 100 Kit.
I will post a picture when I get back, the pool looks great! It is nice to be able to see the bottom again!
