    Looks good.

    Just keep your pH in the 6.8 - 7.2 range, and your alkalinity will drop over time. What will happen is that some of the 'alkalinity' will leave as carbon dioxide; your pH will increase; you more acid to get back to 6.8, and it starts over. The more you splash around or 'aerate', the fast it will happen.

    But, there's no hurry. You can simply maintain a lowish pH, and let it go at its own pace.

    Also, I'm keeping track of my readings/use of acid CYA in a log.
