how would i bring the hardness of my water down and what would i use to bring the pH down to

Why do you want to change your hardness & pH? Most fish can adapt just fine to your tap water. If you try to adjust it what tends to happen is the pH becomes unstable and the fluctuation is stressful for the fish. What is important is stability, not the exact numbers.

well my pH is around 8.4 and my hardness is 150 so i thought i need to change taht stuff

Unless you're planning on breeding soft water species, your fish will be fine. My pH is over 8 and my hardness is off the charts too. The fish will adjust. If you buy them at a local store, they'll already be acclimated to your tap water anyway.

cool i just never paid any attention and now i read something and i was like ok then. well i plan on doing some platy's with some mollies and hopefully the some platys will mate would be awesome

Oh yeah the fish you want will be more than fine living/breeding in your tap water.
