ph buffer

Hello all! It's me again! The pH in my 75 gallon reef tank (Which is still in a cycle) has been a consistent 7.8 from the results of my API liquid test kit. Once my tank has cycled will I need to raise the ph to say 8.2? Or is 7.8 acceptable? If 7.8 is not an acceptable ph range, then what is the best ph buffer I can use? The only ph buffer in my area that sounds any good is called superbuffer. Just tell me what you guys think I should do. Thanks...

I'm in this exact situation (pH 7.8). Please let me know what happens. I do know that it should be more around 8.2-8.4. I'm mid cycle too. or i should say i'm almost done my cycle as i've had my ammonia and nitrite spikes, but they haven't decreased yet, and nitrate is starting to increase.
