Am I being conservative with my drip? My pH stands at 8.4 right now (10:00pm). Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

you will be able if you stop any other buffer and calcium addition. then add the more kalk you can without never get you ph more then 8,5 if you are not able to replace all the top off cause the PH climb to hight you have not enought calcium consumtion for your evaporation rate if the PH go to low then you will have to add buffer and calcium two part to help
A good way is to add a kalkwasser reactor all your water top off pass trought it and you adjust you stiring pump start to go match you consumption with the help of you PH the more you need the more you stir that way you could find tune you sistem to use only kalk realy easy witout any test of calcium and alkalinity but you need a PH meter and keep PH between 8.1 -8.5
