I'm same way, I have to start real low as well, I'm using aquaforest now it's the lowest I can find , kinda neat they send a test paper in box , 7.8 is what last box said, let your chillers do more of the heavy lifting on cooling , backing cooling fans off will reduce it a lot

I run a auto water change, and if I feel the tank is getting to much kalk reactor, usually in the summer, I change a little more water on the apex, just add more time..this should on be a temporary thing when the tank grows out most of all this goes away..

I'm not home, those all I have, on New phone, your tank looks nice, big fish, mostly softies and community fish? Don't see many hard corals, if so I wouldn't freak out over the high alk , if sps is your thing than yea, I pay closet attention to it then , but in a softy tank I would leave it alone a just feed a bunch more..not even worry about it, they don't care that much..you could run that tank fat, witch it kinda looks like, fat I mean high nutrients

If you want to add more pop, you can add some t5s, and some extra uv leds, might smooth out the color some.. I have been told on other post that I'm a bb fan boy, that might be true ..

Neither the salt mix nor water changes will affect the pH level, assuming the alkalinity level remains in the acceptable zone. If the pH measurement is correct, the issue is carbon dioxide. Running a refugium on a reverse-lit schedule might help with the pH during the night. Other than that, adding a large room-level carbon dioxide scrubber or air exchanger would be the most likely approaches that could help, although they are a fair amount of expense and trouble.
