Were do you live?
Is the house closed up?
Do you have a skimmer?
There are a couple of ways to solve your issue with low PH. If you are running a skimmer you can always run an air line out to the outside world to bring in fresh air. Here is an article
Here is a article on making a Co2 scrubber link

Read through both the articles and I think this will answer a lot of your questions.

Let use know if you need more help, we are here

What is your KH (alkalinity) reading?

 

[briancarterkc]

Most reefers don't even measure PH as long as alk is good. But, to the point of the other replies; if you have a skimmer, you could consider running the "snorkel" of the air input for the skimmer all the way to an exterior source (out a window or small hole drilled in the exterior wall of the house.)

You can also put the pump outside a window. Also increase surface agitation if you do.

I dont even have a test for KH I have to get one I did run a air holes outside. .

Just so you see it, this is what happens to my pH when I open the windows and put a fan drawing in fresh air after being sealed up all day- I live in a new, practically hermetically sealed 2000 sq ft condo in Florida... you can see the difference! And this is just an hour... it will get up to about 8.2 in another hour...
