Ok I have an odd situation I have never seen in water chemistry. I am about two weeks into my setup cycle. My PH has been holding fine until my ammonia started going down. In the last 48 hours my ammonia dropped to 0 but my PH also dropped from an 8.2 to a 7.3... My nitrates and nitrites are both still up there and I know I am no where near ready for critters, but i want to stop what ever caused this before it happens again hurting my tank.
Water chemistry question/ odd situation...

Judging from the ammonia, you've added some dead critters in your live rock, so you are right! 
Just no need to worry much until the cycle is over, which could be as little a a few days or as much as a month or even longer depending on your rock.
