PH questions

My two cents-I also live in limestone country, and our water source is from the Edwards Aquifer and very hard. Our municiple water facility lowers ph but we maintain a PH around 8.5 to 8.9 and KH/GH reading over 300ppm. My experience so far has been that good beni was unaffected by ph, if kept steady. I believe it has alot to do with stress and all the water quality factors which stress our koi. I have noticed a little deteriation, beni showing lightening at the scale edges this winter. I believe this may have more to due with fluxuating cold temperatures. I noticed this when my ph was reading 8.0 (low).
