Firstly, don't be worried if the pH is at or above 7.9. That is tolerable to invertibrates and fish. However if it is significantly low, you should try a pH/Kh Buffer such as this one from www.bigalsonline.com http://www.bigalsonline.com/StoreCatalog/ctl3684/cp18581/si1383077/cl1/kent_superbuffer_dkh_500_grams?&path=c3684-def-USD-16695%23%23-1%23%23-1%7E%7Eq6b68%7E%7Enc3684-def-USD-18566%23%234%23%23f&query=kh&hits=12&offset=
