This finally gives me a definitive answer, but can H+ addition from biotic process depress pH?
Since its CO2, I'd like to see if its atmospheric or something going on in the aquarium itself.
Yes, H+ from a biological process (such as conversion of ammonia to nitrate) will deplete alkalinity and also lower pH.
