Large amount of Alk consumption

[Accidentalreefers]

Hey, so here are my parameter's
Alkalinity 7.0
calcium - 430
magnesium - 1300
phosphate - 0
PH- 7.8-8.0
ammonia - 0
Salinity 1.025

I'm using a Hanna Alk checker for my Alk readings.
This is my issue my tank isn't that loaded, mainly softies and LPS (mainly smaller frags), i have a birds nest that is 7" by 7" big, a smaller birds nest that's around 2"-3" I have quite a bit of coralline, I've been buffering my tanks Alk to 7.5-8.0 almost on a daily, or over a 2 day period but almost 8 hours later i will check it and it will be down to 7.0 again?? I'm literally dosing 10ml of Alk every single day.... is this normal for a tank to consume this amount of Alkalinity within an 8hour period??? my tank is just over a year old. any feed back would be great. thanks ...

IF that is what you are measuring that is normal for your tank. It doesn't seem like that much to me. My Calk reactor adds 45 ml/minute of reactor enriched water to my tank.
