I use coco currently and stick to the recomended dose of coco a and b and never have any problems.
My tap water is ph 8. After mixing with nutes its at about 7. PH down to 5.5 and every day it is at 6.2 or 6.4 and I knock it down again.

I got your page, it seems to recommend topping off? One time I got lazy and did not empty my reservoir and just refilled it. The PH did seem a bit more stable. Others have told me not to do that. Maybe I did not get your point.
