I have my tank up and running for 24hrs. My PH started at 8.3 and has fallen to 8.05 in 24 hrs.
Fritz Reef Pro Salt. Calibrated brand new Apex probe.
No fish. Getting ready to start cycling

Your tank is gonna go through a ton of changes in the next few months. Ph is the last thing you need to worry about right now. Amonia, nitrite and nitrate Until the cycle is done.

I know. Starting Dr Toms bacteria with ammonia drops tomorrow.
 
Cool. Take your time, once the system is done cycling and stable then theres things that can be done to stabilize ph. Main this is getting fresh air to your skimmer air inlet. Low ph is usually caused by higher co2 levels within your home.
