today's test results
FC=2.5, CC=0, PH=7.8, TA=70, CH=240, CYA=35, water temp 78
water balance is +.15
so all is good....but since my TA is below normal recommended range of 80-100, should I increase TA or just leave it be? I did add some muriatic acid yesterday since the ph was pushing 8.0 and I guess that lowered the TA too.
I am thinking just do nothing while water balance is in range?
also another question
when I do start raising the TA...I usually use baking soda......but that raises the PH.....then if I use muriatic to lower the PH...that lowers the TA....is there a better way?
thanks.
