What is a safe way to decrease PH of Koi pond water while fish are present?

In Tampa, FL the water supply is highly buffered and I can’t seem to break through the buffer to decrease the PH in my Koi pond water by the usally products that safely lower PH without killling the Koi and plants present in the pond.

Peatmoss is the simplest way to do it, since the affect is not instant, and it keeps working. The downside is that it discolours the water, needs to be replaced regularly, and will have less effect in highly buffered water – if you have very alkaline and hard water, you may notice no effect at all.

Never use bottled ‘instant’ cures, because they do not remove the elements that cause the alkaline water in the first place, and the result is always unstable water.

The truth is, your fish will do fine in the water the way it is, and the best thing is not to worry so much about it. They have a higher tolerence then given credit for.
