Well I put some more acid this morning at 7:30 to bring the pH down to 7.0 and the pH at that time was 7.3. Then I checked again at around 12:30 and the pH had risen to 7.2 and I went ahead and put more acid in. Not only do I have my "rigged" jet going, I also turned the return jet up to make more bubbles. Hopefully that will work a little faster. I'll check again tonight. Didn't check the alkalinity again. It is going to just take some time, so I'll check it in a couple of days.
Thanks for your input!
