Low ph.Best way to bring up?

[kb]

I am treating my tank with copper right now and my ph is down to 7.8 and I'm worried about it being to low. I don't really want to do a water change because of the level of copper in the tank is where I want it to be. What should I do?

Very simple. Just buy a buffer. You just add it to the tank and in 24 hours your pH will improve. KENT SuperBuffer is one the the better ones.

you can't always trust buffers, so i sugest adding baking soda to your dead corals, and small amounts to water changes. only do this if the buffer does not work,

Go with the baking soda, but alway make changes to PH slowly. Also, when you raise PH, the toxicity for ammonia increase, thus, if you have any ammonia, then don't raise PH. I mention this, because you said you are using cooper, and cooper also kills off some of your biological filtration, thus risking ammoinia.
