Testing results after conversion

[Zinnia]

Getting the hang of testing after doing a bacqua conversion. Test results were:

FC 5
CC 0
CYA 32
PH +8 Acid demand took 2 drops
CH 250
TA 225

TA is really high but do I need to worry about it? Thinking all I need right now to the lower PH.

Thanks for your help! Love this site!!!

Knock that pH down to 7.2 and aerate until it comes back up to 7.6 to 7.8. This should drop that TA number. Repeat as required until that TA is under 100.

I assume the water is clear?
