There are several products on the market that can raise pH to the desired 8.0-8.2 range. Problem: You should try to figure out why the pH is low so you won't have to continually use a supplement, if possible.
Water changes can also help to raise your pH level.

I had my water tested last week and found out that my "well water" is causing all of my problems-my ph is ia also 7.8 and it wont go up. I've used 2 differant buffers and it remains at 7.8
My water is high in phospahates-lots of red/brown algae and my water is also very high in calcium which messed with the alkalinity-so I now have to buy RO water from my LFS.

Yes, There are very few people who have good enough 'tap water/well water'
to run their sw tanks. The ones that can I consider very lucky, the rest of us buy ort'make' RODI water.
