Nope, you got it right! Coral/algae's absorb co2 during the day raising pH, they release it after the lights go out, in turn lowering the pH.

Never thought but do you have a fireplace or anything? It's possible now that I think about it that the room has a bit of Co2 built up from being sealed from the cold. Intersting...
