High pH


Ok, so my 12 gal. tank has been set up about 2 mos. or so and I've started adding some corals a couple of weeks ago. I was adding pH buffer to keep it at 8.2-8.4. So I just moved and bought water from a new store and did a water change and added the pH buffer (stupid). Anyhow, I just tested my pH and it's wavering between 8.5-8.7. I tested the water from the new store at 8.4. The old store was 8.0. Will everything be cool? Do I need to do anything?
Thanks for any help.

I would say do a WC slowly to bring the pH back down without adding any buffer to the WC water.
