New Fish - Big pH difference

I bought a pair of platinum angels tonight.  I got them home and checked the bag's pH - 6.0, my tank's pH - 7.6.  I'm drip-acclimating them in their bag in a bucket, at about 1 drip every 2 seconds.  gH/kH were similar (2 in the store water, 4 in my water).  Will this be a gradual enough drip for them to handle that big a pH increase?  Anything else I could do to make the transition easier on them.  There's no other fish in my QT at the moment, but I don't have any RO water or anything else I could use to pull my tank pH down that much.  Any thoughts?  Help is much appreciated, as always!

should be enough
make sure you put 4 to 5 time the quetity of water you had on the bag with new water.
and should be ok but wait angel expert.
