Relax, brah, dey can handle a low PH mo' betta dan a high one.
Yer prolly OK down to 5.2 for a while. (Couple days).

It's not actually about PH numbers anyway.
It's more about alkalinety. But, that's a long story.
I'm assuming hydro?
NBD.
Jus' change out the res..
Soil? Relax, if it's decent, it should buffer.

I must say though, that if your PH drops that bad with CalMag, you are using way too much!

Help us out here, (jus' take a deep breath, gonna be OK), details would be good.

Aloha,
