It probably does. Most SPS tanks will start to suffer below 7.8 and above 8.4. Ideally, you want to be around 8.2-8.3, but as Chin says, don't chase the pH too much. Remember that pH is a result of several factors. It's like baking a cake...err...it's like a carburetor, you gotta get the mix right or it doesn't run properly. The "mix" primarily being CO2 and oxygen - though the source of CO2 (causing acidification, or lowering of pH) isn't always obvious.
