Question about dKH

I know it should be about 8, but I have a hard time keeping above 6. I maintain CA at about 400-420 and PH is about 8.3. Mag is 1300.
What is the problem with a low dKH? How is it detrimental to the tank and its inhabitants?
I dose CA with Tropic Marin Bio Calcium and use Kent Pro dKH (probaly not enough)

Alk, CA and PH all work together. Normally when one is off it will affect one of the others. I used to have the hardest time getting my parameters in check and the only thing I found that worked for me are seachems alk and ca (powder). What test kits are you using?
