Success on my own for once! Any red flags to cause future problems?

So I was losing 5-6ppm FC everyday at a CYA of 30, (good ole TX sun) so I bumped up to 50 and shot for 10ppm FC at night just in case I still lost 6. This morning at (7am) , before the sun hit, the FC held at 10ppm and my occasional pesky .5 CC or less is completely gone. Yay!

At last test (11:30 am) 4.5 hours later with sun,

FC = 7.5
CC = 0
Ph = 7.7
TA = 90
Cya = 50 (but not tested today. No CYA added and no water replacement since check 2 days ago)

I think FC will hold to above 4 by the time it's ready for more bleach tonight. Haven't tested CH in awhile, but it was ok a couple weeks ago and my pool is vinyl.

Pool is clear. I don't know if I should try to lower my TA yet, or just leave it for now.

Am I doing okay? Do you see something I could be missing that might get me in trouble later? I think I'm understanding more, but I'm still a little skittish.

Thanks in advance.

I would leave the TA alone if your pH rise is not excessive.
Your FC loss should not be as high now that you raised the CYA level some.

Sounds like you are on top of things

Thanks so much. I was thinking the same thing about TA and Ph rise. Going to wait on that.
OMG, I think I really do understand this!

Okay, you've got TFP figured out.

Time to start answering questions.

Outstanding! We salute you!

Always give back. I'll answer the ones I know for sure.

FC was at 4.5 tonight (CYA 50) when it was feeding time! Woot!!!!
Couldn't have done it without you TFP guys. <3

Outstanding! We salute you!

I don't know why, but I'm kind of excited!

It's because it clicked. You studied the results, you decided on a course of action, you did what you needed to do.... and you were correct. And now you're marvelling that it's so easy...

That's exactly it! Going to check out some "just getting started" threads and see if I can help.
