bumped twice within 40 minutes, no patience or what?

Your fish can adapt to the higher pH. You need to keep it stable though.

Fish will adjust to swings in PH too. Tanks with pressurized CO2 will have the PH go up and down when the CO2 is off or on.

What did it start at? It probably rose slowly so shouldn't be anything to worry about.

 

[Deep Blue Sea]

started at liek 7.2 and rose over a period of 4 days

 

[fishbum]

7.2 to 7.9 is nothing to worry about.
