I think it would be difficult to keep the plants alive and healthy going back and forth between 8.0 and acidic conditions. I think it would probably be easier in the long run if you kept the spare planted tank at the lower pH (which you could use for your fish when needed) and set up a different tank with higher pH for your boyfriend's Africans.
