You should decide what pH/GH you want the water to stay at, and then begin replacing the water with distilled water for the top offs and for the water changes, until you get the pH/GH where you want it. Over time, you will find that if you change out X nr of gallons of water and replace it with Y gallons from the tap mixed with Z gallons of distilled water, the pH/GH will remain constant.
