low pH while cycling

Today's water tests:
temp 81
pH 7.8
sg 1.026
ammonia 0.75
nitrite 5.0
nitrate 5
pH 4 days ago was 8.4
This is a new set up - 110 gallons, in first week of cycling. I put in 50 pounds of live rock and 50 pounds of base rock on 4/29. I can already see the cycle happening - ammonia was higher and is now dropping. Nitrites are rising, and nitrates slowly rising. Should I add something to bring the pH up or just let it ride for a day or 2? Thanks,
Kelly

From what I have been told your pH will be all over the charts during your cycle. To the point where it is not even worth measuring.
