PH problems

I'm 4 months into my new 12g nano with 11lbs of live rock and a janitor package. I religiously do 2.5 gal water changes biweekly but can't seem to keep the ph level over 8.0. I buffer the tank daily and notice that my alkalinity is off the charts. In addition I use buffer blocks as needed. I've read that when the alkalinity is high it will affect the ph making it inconsistent. Currently I only have a test kit for ph & alkalinity.
What should I do?
