So yesterday I did my monthly full test:
PH 8.0
FC: 5
TC: 5
CC: 0
CYA: 30
TA: 70
CH: 200
I added a couple of cups (2 or 3, I didn't measure, just glugged it out of the bottle) of muriatic acid. Tested again today and got:
PH: 7.4
TA: 30
So, now I need to raise my TA, right? Isn't baking soda going to just raise my PH too, then I'll add acid to lower PH and destroy my TA and end up in the same spot? I have soda ash too, if that is better.....Help!!
