    Constant Low PH

    I am trying to find the cause of my low ph in my 75 gallon tank. Could it be the skimmer? Ph usually runs around 7.8, ammonia is 0, nitrite is 0 and nitrate is 10. I have a skimmer and uv also. How long do test kits last for? I have a api on now, but it will need replaced shortly.
