pH too low questions...

[Milad]

So my pH seems to be low as some people have pointed out. I use RO/DI water and im guessing that is contributing to it being low.

I just went out and bought some reef buffer and KH test kit.

From my understanding i can get it to 8.3 with this stuff. But i dont want to be always dosing this if there is an underlying problem.

Am I missing something? I have alot of surface water agitation (two tunze 6105s pointed upwards so they are making some nice waves). I also heard i need to put air into the water but doesnt my skimmer do that?

Is this just a step i should be taking to get it to > 8 and it should hold itself?

I feel like im missing something... Someone in vancouver needs to come check out my system and make sure i havent done something stupid!
