Hello everyone. I'm about to switch from 1/2 reverse osmosis water & 1/2 tap water to all tap water. My tap water is initially 8.5 out of the tap, but in about 5-8 days it drops to 7.2. Is there anything I can do to naturally drop the ph faster? I'm using 5 gallon jugs to hold the water. I'm thinking of buying a 10 gallon tank or bucket and running a filter to circulate the water. Does this help the ph stabalize to around 6.6-7.7 (or around that)? Also, how would I use peat moss to lower the waters ph BEFORE I added it to the tank?? Thanks for any ideas!
