You may want to clean filter media, a steady dropping Ph can be cause from organic waste build up. If your nitrates are good may be nothing to worry about.

try use peat.. sera brand or eheim brand , very good to lower pH.

pH can drop 1-2 point in 3-4 days. i try it before.

put in ur canister / filter / aquarium.
