Hey guys im having similar problems with my tank. Only a 400 gal its been running for 3 years and my PH has really droped 7.6 everything tests fine corals are doing fine but I lost some fish. I do weekly water changes all my buffers are good but I can't get my PH to come back up. The only thing I can think is my sand bed has crashed. Im afraid to pull all the sand out and make things worse. What do you guys think?

I would check to make sure your pH monitor is properly calibrated and also test a sample away from your tank for electrical interference 1st.

Re: low ph
Have you made any changes recently? I now when I take my skimmer off line, the ph will drop significantly due to lack of aereation.
Per the link above, if your alk is good and your Ph monitor is accurate then usually it is a CO2 issue.
hardware, refugium changes can effect this...

All good ? I am dosing with Kalk, yes my windows have been closed alot because its hot outside. I opened them and it did come up but I cant leave my windows open all the time. The thing is the tank has been running for years now and I never had this problem before. I also havnt made any changes other than I restarted my Refugium that had a crack in it. I added all new Cheto and it seems to be doing fine.
