Question about TA

[bolleat]

My TA is 140
PH 7.2
FC 8ppm
CC: 0
CYA: 30-40
CH: 140

So I know I need to increase CH, which I am going to tomorrow. My FC is coming down from shocking and looking good. So now I have a bit high TA and low PH. I know the main thing to do here is aerate, but my question is do I need to lower TA to 90 or is this OK? Just adjust PH and see how it goes? I don't really have anything to aerate with right now, so I am wondering. Otherwise I guess I need to buy a fountain. What is the main downside of TS in this range of 140?

Leave it alone and see what develops. It'll probably be fine and will s-l-o-w-ly come down on it's own.

great thanks. So shall I just raise my ph a bit with some borax and let it ride?

Your PH is fine where it is. If it goes any lower, raise it. But chances are it will tend to come up.
