Default High PH

PH 7.8 - 8.2, have done water part changes ,but PH returns to above range.
Any suggestions of natural remedies. The only thing I've heard of is "PH
down", more chemicals! Prefer an alternative if anyone has one.


Look at previous threads of 9.0 pH and the threads on hardness and
hardness test kits for expalinations of buffering capacity. 7.8 you are
fine for most gf and Koi. If you are really intent on bringing it down
use peat in the filter. It will dye the water brown though. pH down will
bring it down for a bit but the pH will rebound.
