The pH buffer wasn't just for the sponges, some of which are actually photosynthetic. It was for the fish and shrimp too. The pH used to be about 7.6. Now it's up to about 8.0.

Good thing you did! Were you getting very good growth out of the calcium based corals? Usually low pH means low Alk and slow-low calcification for the corals.
Have you tried opening a window in the room where the tank is for a few hours?

Not trying to give you a hard time by the way, just been battling some low pH myself. Maybe i am more worried about it than I should be?
