ShallowWater replied to the thread I Like My CSI, Should I worry about TA and CH?.True. I shoot for pH of 7.5 to 7.8 by adding MA several times a week. It generally drifts to 8.x relatively quickly.

If you are lowering the pH below ~7.6 that makes it rise faster as well. Try aiming for 7.8-ish with the acid and see if it slows down.
