Vigorous aeration by your skimmer helps pH. Using a refugium with macro algae and lots of light on at night helps too. If you keep the alkalinity higher, then pH swings will be less too. Check your probe calibration and make sure there are no electrical current leaks in your system that may cause your probe reading to go off.

I'll add my $.02 to say that my experience with adding Kalk overnight has taught me that this will work....to a degree... I've found the Kalk in my reactor is effective for about 2 weeks, then I have to replace it with new Kalk. You should be able to measure the pH of the Kalk at something like 13+.
