Tonight I added ~2 lbs of Baking Soda to try raising total alkalinity by 10ppm to 80ppm.

I will retest tomorrow morning with the Taylor kit I ordered through Ben's store. I hope to be doing the right thing by raising TA before trying to lower pH. Just hope pre-diluled muriatic acid will do the trick for lowering pH tomorrow without killing TA.

Once this is in order, I am supposed to add chlorine then CYA and I surely hope delaying the chlorine does not result in some algae.
