PH low

[Camcrick18]

Hi guys.

Just a run down.

PH:7.60 and has been dropping from 8.2 since starting the tank. I'm 6 weeks in with two fish in.

My alkanity is 8.4 and kept around there by me dosing kh coral line gro from red sea. My calcium is 480.

Any help. I have my window slightly open near the aquarium and the tank is in my bedroom which I only tend to sleep in and in a few hours apart from that.

I do not know why it continues to drop. Please help. Thank you

How do you know it’s that low at 7.6 (which is not excessively low in itself)
Maybe it’s 7.9 and the test is just showing 7.6.
In a normal home environment (unless you have a ton of animals inside) is generally not lower than 7.8) which is fine, if you want to raise a bit can you bring in outside air into your skimmer?

I'm using a seneye reef and a red sea test kit. Both are reading around 7.6. My PH has been dropping then stayed stable at 7.8 but now dropped further. Is pH a worry or shall I just focus on alkalinity
