Should I raise my Alkalinity?

[Lannjo]

My TA measured 60. I saw that recommended levels for plaster with bleach are 70-90+.

Here are my other levels:
FC=5
CC=0.5
pH=7.8
TA=60
CH=360
CYA=50

Should I add baking soda? Or leave it alone? We had a major rainstorm last night so not sure if that makes a difference.

Your CH and pH are high enough that the TA can be at 60 without issue.

Is your pH steady or does it rise over time?

The pH actually has been pretty steady at 7.4 and occasionally it has been 7.6 (but sometimes I round up if I can't tell which color it is).
But today it was 7.8 for sure.

I would leave it alone. It will climb on its own, especially if your fill water has higher TA.
