Once cycled get some surface agitation going or a skimmer. It'll help a lot.

I keep mine a third of the way down and pointed slightly upward

If that pH is correct, you have a very large carbon dioxide problem in your house. How are you measuring pH? Oh, and I see you're new, so WELCOME to R2R! #WelcometoR2R
