Need PH help!

Some of my corals looked really bad so I checked my PH and found that it was in the 8.8 range! The only thing I did recently was added a bag of Phosphoban into my canister filter. How do I get it back to normal range???
Thank you

I dont know if Phosban raised you pH or not,but putting it in your canister filter is not a good idea.You do not want the phosban to churn ,it will cause it to break down and get into you water column.
I would remove the Phosban from you canister and do a few water changes.

start water changes to bring it down. I would try to bring it down about .2 every 24 hours until it gets back to your norm.

Agree here but don't do any drastic changes. Like saltwater nut said bring it down slowly, a rapid change in Ph is a bad thing.
