Agreed, it takes allot for pH to spike (Unless you went crazy with the additives) and trying to change it manually is only going to cause future problems. IMO PH up/ PH down chemicals were only invented to ruin peoples tanks, a properly maintained tank will NEVER have a pH problem. Besides reef tanks run at 8.0-8.5 PH anyways.
