No, unless you were supplementing calcium with something like limewater (kalkwasser).
I would calibrate your pH probe and verify the reading is correct. Your most recent pH readings are in the range where corals and aragonite begin dissolving to buffer the water. If the reading is correct, you should determine why the pH dropped so low and attempt to raise it.

My Tank Thread
I agree. pH is unrelated to calcium levels themselves.
