    Yes, that's by FAR the best way to adjust pH! If your pH is in the danger zone (>8.2 or <6.8) you can use the acid / base demand test in the K2006 to measure (not: calculate) a near exact dose. But, if you are in the safe zone (and you are) adjusting a little at a time is by far the best way to adjust pH.
