I was planning on moving my fish from QT to DT today. Was going to just scoop them with a container and drop straight into DT with no Acclimation.
Salinity and Temp match, however my PH is 7.6 in the QT and 8.3 in the DT. Seems like a big jump. What can I do to raise my QT PH, just PH buffer? Should I wait a couple of days? I’m

Just take a scoop of display tank water and use it to acclimate the fish to that.
I would use a small bowl, shouldn't take very long to do.
