More aeration might help with the pH. Tuning the skimmer (as needed), checking for water surface films, and adding an airstone have helped in other cases.
Thank you for the suggestions ... You got me thinking and realized that "my Red Sea Max 250 hood" could be the problem. So I changed three things:

1. Took the skimmer intake and moved it outside of the hood

2. Added an additional air stone

3. Opened the front of the hood

And the results are ... drum roll .... I went from 7.55 - 7.78 24-hour Ph range to 7.67 - 7.95.

Not perfect, but better. Now I will remove one at the time and see which if any is not needed.
