which 1 brings the pH down most?

does anyone know which tap water conditioner/dechlorinator brings the pH down the most?

Do you want to know b/c you dont want to adjust the pH or because you do want to adjust the pH. If you do want to adjust the pH I suggest you dont use chemicals to do it. Try peat or using an RO machine, they will lower the pH by softening the water.

I have a very high pH coming out of my tap and i wanted to figure out a way to lower it, but people made a point that its better for the fish to have the same pH constantly that will come out of your tap then to keep on trying to adjust it. When you do water changes your pH will change so much it might kill your fish. But if you must, i believe real driftwood will lower your pH which would be alot safer than chemicals as ashdavid suggested.

To the best of my knowledge none of them lower PH. This would obviously be a counterproductive feature if they did, Ph tampering is seldom a good thing. Ro water mixed with tap to get the correct ratio will do the job, peat will work if you have low KH to start with, but then if you had low kh you wouldn't be wanting to lower it. Criftwood will help when it is new, and if it is in high quantity. Otherwise as mentioned it is normally far better to target the tap Ph so water changes are easier for you.

i only ask cause my pH out of tap was like 8.8-9 and after i used aquasafe it went to like 8.0. so i was just wondering if other brands may bring it down even more since i have to use it anyways.

Tap water often contains discolved gasses which effect the pH. These outgas with aggitation. To test your tap properly use the following method:
Fill glass w/ tap water.
Insert airstone connected to pump.
Bubble water for at least an hour or more.
Test the pH.

This will be the true pH of your tap water.

Aquasafe wouldn't affect your ph.
