I can't think of anything that makes it important. It's also tough to measure unless you have an often calibrated meter. Unless you have some weird circumstance where you suspect it could be affected, it's going to sit somewhere between 7.8 and 8.4. All good values. If you live in a house with 30 people and have no windows, it could drop too low from CO2, but most tanks are just fine. Lots of dying material could affect it, but then a NH3 test is the better tool. If you're fish aren't jumping out of the tank, and your corals aren't dissolving, you're fine
