I've heard of few people getting a plastic trash can and filling it up with conditioned water. Throw a heater in there with the right temperature of your aquarium and put an airstone in. Let the water air rate for 24 hours and then the PH will lower. Chlorine will also evaporate out within 24 hours but not chloramines. So be sure to condition the water.
I'm gonna try this method when I get my new 75 gallon if I get Discus to make sure the PH is low enough for them.

Mr. Limpet said:I have peat moss, but haven't tried it yet and I can't find the PM granules anywhere and I tried from wallyworld to a high end garden store.
