Hello mate, thats a strange one for sure. I can think of a few reasons
If you're using an air pump and stone in the water, the air going through could be acidic and changing the PH
I've seen a couple of statements that the ions in tap water (if thats what you're using) can bind to other ions and lower or raise the ph
The combination of your nutrients are causing the fall, too much of something bring it down.
I could be completely wrong but you have some food for thought on the subject...Good luck
