Sorry this happened to you. One takeaway from your experience is that most reefers don't chase PH and adjust pH chemicaly. Using pH buffers will throw off your water parameters, such as alkalinity.

Test your water parameters. If you've done a larger water change and it sounds like you have, let the tank stabilize now.
