Okay, so I'm doing the best I can with the crappy test kit I have now. Best I can tell these are my results from last night.
FC- 5
pH- under 6.8
TA- 40
CYA- 0
The pH was reading off the charts so we tried lowering it and dumped a little too much muriatic acid in. Way too much. So last night I put in 4 lbs of Borax and it helped some. Meaning when I test the pH the result isn't as yellow, lol. I really don't know what to do. Should I add more borax to raise pH or should I add Baking Soda to raise pH and TA? I also need to add stabilizer but I don't know when to do it? I've already screwed up once with the acid and don't want to do it again. My TF-100 kit should be delivered either Tues/Wed. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!
