Tested late afternoon.

CL 1-3
pH 7.8
TA 190

Added MA.

Tested now (about 2-3 hrs later)
CL 1
pH 7.5-7.8
TA 240!

Why did the TA increase with the MA??

Ugh. This is so frustrating. I see no difference in the water's clarity...still very cloudy. Now perhaps slightly green tinged.

I added the rest of the pH down (just to use it up -about 9 oz). Waited a few mins and added a gallon of bleach. Will test again in the am.
