ok then--you are doing the same thing as me-- have you ever observed it following below 7.8

This is the problem in understanding I am having---if pH is lowering because of carbon dioxide conditions in the house then there should be a point where the carbon dioxide levels off in the house and concurrently in the tank so if you ignore the following co2 rate like some suggest it will start to come back up on its own.
