I lower to about 6/6.5, which renders the NH4 less toxic, and close enough to most bags. I don't use QT, and prefer not to leave a box of fish on the floor with a kid and house full of dogs
Mostly just match temp and slowly add O2 via small pump to raise pH. Longer would likely be better, but this works. I adopted it from the LFS which needed to get this done between arrival and closing, and it worked for them, so..
