Lol my bad, I missed the part about the diatome filter.
The hardness is more important than pH. If your water has low hardness but high pH it will easily come down with driftwood or peat. If the hardness is high the wood and peat won't make much difference and you may need RO. That said, try talk to local breeders or keepers, the hardier man made strains might do fine in harder water.
