the fresh air is a good idea.  I don't have a ca reactor.  The probes are calibrated frequently and were just replaced recently.  I do run the refugium on a reverse daylight cycle but it doesn't seem to matter. 
 
I hear you about worrying about the big three only, but I've always found that when I do manage to get the pH up, the corals have always responded well because of it, look healthier and have better PE and growth. 
 
I think I'll set up a kalk reactor for top-off.
