Usually he likes to hide and...

Hi all, I have a 20 gal. fish only tank with crushed coral substrate. My ph runs consistently at 7.8. What is the best way to raise it up slowly so that my fish won't go into shock. I'm not crazy about chemicals, but would be willing to try it if it's the only way. It was my understanding that...
