i say forget your ph and get your alk back down to normal first before things really get bad i dont like using ph buffer unless theres a horrible problem which i dont think is your case cheers
This should be a sticky or a t-shirt (Brett!), or a bumper sticker. I have heard way too many pH horror stories over the past few months and as you said, likely due to the lack of fresh air.

If your tank is running fine don't start looking for problems

If your tank isn't looking so hot check everything else first. You should not need to mess with pH so long as everything else is in check. My pH has been hovering around 7.6 to 8.0 all month according to my controller and everything in the tank is doing just fine.
