Anyone who answered the poll as "it never changes" has probably not measured it accurately enough to see what is actually happening. There is a 24 cycle based on the lighting and it is VERY unusual to find a way to hold pH steady throughout the 24hrs.

Here's a challenge...someone show me a 24hr graph with hourly readings of their tank pH that stays flat.

As for what to do about it. As mentioned, the answer is "don't worry about it".
