Got my TF-100 test kit today and performed my first tests, should have sprung for the magnetic stirrer. Still getting the hang of this, so not sure how accurate. Here's where I am:
FC - 8
CC - 0.5
TC - 8.5
pH - 7.2
TA - 210
CYA - 70
CH - 590
Salt - 2900
Water is looking pretty good and clear
I'm questioning the CH because it's awful high. I did have to shock quite a bit after opening. That was before I found TFP so I used Cal-Hypo 73%, which might explain the high CH. Question is, what to do about it? Clearly pH and TA need some adjusting. What is the best method for tackling these values? Appreciate any guidance provided.
