The Ph in my 10 gallon is 6.8 and my tap is 8.0. I do small (20% or less) water changes and have not had any problems. you just don't want to do big water changes. If it gets really bad and you need to do larger water changes then you can just do a 20% change, then another one a few hours later. That way any Ph changes are happening slowly. I have also tested my Ph 20 minutes after changing the water and it still tests 6.8. So I am not too worried.
