I wouldn't worry about the pH. Contrary to popular belief, plants like hard
water (which generally comes with a high pH).
Plants also like CO2 in the water. A high pH automatically means there
is a low level of CO2 in the tank.
In the end only very few plants will grow well in tanks with a high pH
- Vallisneria comes to mind. If you want to keep a well planted tank
you will have to keep your pH lower than 7.5
This is not part of some 'popular belief' - this is basic 'planted
tank'-fact.
