What is your ph? It is not as important as the mineral content and hardness. Your ph could be 7.6, and the water be fine from a softness /hardness aspect. As long as you are using ro or very soft water wuth remineralizer you should be fine. Imo ph is overrated, though I am sure some will disagree. Don't muck with the water any more than is necessary.
Add some almond leaves. That is supposed to help adjust ph naturally.

I can give you first hand experience PH matter and lower PH is required for godd success. Many people on here would not say it if it were nto true. I can give you email list of breeders I talk to daily in Germany, C.Republuic, Taiwan, Japan, S. korea and they will all say the same. it can be done in higher PH but not good. babies will not survive well and shrimp life span will be shorter because they have been breed for lower ph and that is what thier bodies are breed for. As they say could take 10 plus gererations of solid breeding to get them to adjust and be stable in higher ph.As I said, I knew people would disagree, even though I know that several very successful breeders have a ph of 7.6.
I disagree with the smog analogy. Smog would be closer to harder water, not high ph, and many experienced people make the same mistake. When most people say low ph they mostly mean soft water. The more correct analogy would be the ph balance in our bodies, which can vary with little ill effect. I have not yet seen a lack of health, shortened life, or decreased babies from ph. I do see tons of problems from mucking around eith ph! Unless you are seeing problems such as early deaths, decreased yields etc. don't worry about it.
Basically the rule of thumb is don't muck around with your water unless absolutely necessary!
