I don't think slightly higher would hurt. YOu could always do a partial water change to get it back down a bit.

Still adding seems to be hanging around 8.0 so put another spoon in let's see what we get in the next 10mins

Hey, when you hit 8, you're there I believe it was kind of a plateau of goodness between 8.0 and 8.4 that Hovanec found in his work. pH in a tank that has lost pH and then regained it via bicarb is also one to keep an eye on, as it probably has low KH and will eventually lose pH again. WD

This one sounds like it should go in the "Waterdrop & Oldman's Aquarium Words to Live By" book! Nicely phrased.
