Water Changes with RO

I just would like to get opinions on RO water changes. Is it necessary to add some kind of a buffering agent to the change water so the Ph won't drop? I only do 10 % at a time changes once a week in a 30G tank. Should I just test the RO water and see what the Ph is compared to the Ph in the tank? Thanks for any help.

aerating it with an airstone will raise the ph of newly mixed salt water. by doing this for 24-36 hours it should be close to what you want in your tank.
