I guess I got in a hurry and quit before I finished.
What I should have said was; Don't worry too much about adjusting anything until you get your TF-100 kit and can accurately measure things.
We recommend Muratic acid to adjust pH downward. Be aware that it fumes and you don't want to breath it. They make half strength that doesn't fume as much or you can use dry acid (pH down or pH-) if you really have a problem handling the Muratic acid. We don't recommend the dry acid because it add sulfates to your water and that's just something you don't need.
