hi dave... welcome to SIMPLY!

your pH is fine. The important thing is to keep it constant.
What is your gH? You might not need R/O if it is not too high.

my discus are in pH 7.8 and gH 11 and they do fine

Hi Dave and welcome,
I hope you use a prefilter for the RO filter as the chlorine in the water will harm the RO membrane.
