My pH pen is lost in a pile of junk from moving the room over i will have to dig thru and find it and re calibrate it i've been having some troubles with the pen but i dont think ph is the issue here. i have a rough idea of how much i need to use, i know the water from my water line is generally about 7.7 for god knows why, i use a water filter that u change every 3 months and it takes it down to about 7.2, i then add roughly 9 mL of pH Down to the 27 gallon resevoir which takes it down to around 6.2.
