First off, the important stuff:
FC 3
CC 0
CYA 5-10 (trying to raise this)
pH 7.8 (just added a gallon of 14.5% muriatic acid, which should lower this considerably)
TA 230
CH 160
Now, I've noticed this around my water line - is it calcium scaling? Is this a reason to lower my TA (aside from wanting to go to borates)?
