As others have posted, messing with pH can be a real pain. I do tend to
disagree with the statement that pH isn't important. Putting fish that
prefer a low pH in a tank with a pH of 8 can shorten the life of the fish.
With a constant pH, it may not make that big of a difference, but you may
eventually decide on breeding etc.
With a pH of 8, if you want the best bang for your buck, IE. lots of fish,
I'd research the Lamprologus multifasciatus. These cichlids from Lake
Tanganyika would love your pH of 8 and you could do about a dozen in that
tank.

Here's a profile on the L. multifasciatus I haven't moved to the new site
yet.
