What are you using to keep your alk at 10dKH? If it's just WC's then using 1 dKH over a weeks time is very low consumption. I'd just do the WC, and check it again. I don't really see a problem here. What are you using to test your param's, and Salinity?
 
ALK should be kept between 8-12. But for what its worth, Baking Soda will raise it quickly for you.
