TA ?'s

[shockman]

All my readings are fine by TFP standards except TA at 160 seems high. I have read on here that one should not target a # for TA, but am concerned that it is high and wondering if I should attempt to lower it?? My CYA is still under 20 but am working on bringing it up to 30

FC 3
CC .5
TA 160
PH 7.2
CH 175

What about PH? Your TA is what keeps your PH in check. I would check the PH a few times daily to determine if there are large swings. If so, then the TA may need to be lowered. We will need more information. Additionally, what test kit are you using to provide your readings?

PH has been pretty stable at 7.2, a week or so ago it looked a tad bit low so threw in some Ph up and it went to 7.4 for a few days then back to 7.2
Test kit is 2006
