best way to maintain PH with a reactor??

Having the same problems. Going to put mine on a controller so it shuts off at 7.80. I have heard of some users overdriving the CA reactor a bit during the day and shutting the Co2 off at night. Supposedly works well

I was thinking of just adding some PH buff ones in a while.
Just wondering what other people with reactors are doing??

Thanks all for the info everyone right now it is running alright but I think I will put my skimmer intake out side and maybe add some Kalk at night when the corals start growing out some more.
