You are only seeing pH move as a side effect of what you are doing to Alk...and likely the particular timing of WHEN you read the pH.

It seems like you are adding A/B based on pH measurement, when you should be adding A/B ONLY based on what you are measuring for Ca/Alk.

When you have your Ca/Alk rock stable...THEN you can start thinking about ways to manipulate your pH. Until that point, you should not be concerned about what your pH appears to be.
