Well I completed fermenting 5 gallons of Concords to .990 and placed in glass carboy. Added campdens but did not check acid levels. Also not sure if should top off-lacking a little over a quart to neck. Looking for clarity on these and if I should go back and check acidity or any other additions.
 
Welcome to WMT!

The level in your carboy is too low -- use a compatible wine and top up within 3" of the stopper, most dry reds will work. Too much space will lead to oxidation.

Checking pH is useful, although at bottling time I adjust acid by taste.
