Do you want to do it the cheap way or expensive way? O hell, I'll tell you both
Cheap- Go to any supermarket and buy Arm & Hammer All Natural Super Washing Soda- 1 teaspoon per 20gals of water
Expensive- Any PH buffer or DKH buffer will do.

Dont guide yourself by your PH, test the Dkh/Alk levels. Have you used the Po3/4 tester yet?
