If I left it alone would it continue to fall or would introducing something so basic as opening the basement windows and or using an air stone help?
I don't run the Kalk reactors on a shut off/probe system at all. If it starts to dip lower than the 7.8, I know it's time to refill the Kalk/lime media and then the PH rises back up.
