If you don't want to use chemicals & your tap water is lower you can bring it down with daily water changes.

sodium biphosphate isn't necessary. peat moss, driftwood, and java moss are all more natural ways to keep the pH low. unless u mean sodium biphosphate is found inside these things, and thats why they make the pH low.
