Kalk should raise your pH (temporarily), not the other way around.

You sure you aren't just testing it at night, when it naturally will drop?

I would figure out what it drops DAILY and then use the BRS reef calculator to figure out my daily dose. I eventually had to switch to dosing 2 part but for the first year i used kalk and started dripping 1 tsp per gallon per day and then as time went on and my demand increased i was doing 2 tsp per gallon per day. Once that couldnt keep up, I switched to 2 part which I dose each day after work.
 
But this information is help me to sourt out my other issue
