Get Seachem's 8.4... It's magic... I have a higly stocked tank and had low pH, and started dosing every other day for my twenty gallon and my pH has been 8.4 since. 
Their other products, like Calcification and Fuel are a must for my tank too...

Eight.Four can safely buffer and/or raise your pH to 8.4 I've read many reviews of people who used it for high pH and they seemed to be happy with the end result. This is a good overview of what the Seachem Aqua Vitro line does exactly and what you can expect:

There is a PH Down chemical you can use. I used it one time that I messed up and it hit about 8.9. Lost a tang but was able to save the rest. I would use it and then test again. IMO I would do water changes instead of chemicals. The only reason I used it was cause how high it went within mins. A pretty good water change should get you where you want. You may be ok at 8.5 and let it go down on its own and stop dosing till it does.
