The PH droped the same way it does on any normal night but it remained stable through-out the blackout. The lowest my tank dropped was 7.9. It typically peaks @ 8.1 - 8.2 everyday. If you are worried about low PH you could always drip some kalk. I do not have any means to test O2 levels but I do run an air stone injected HOB during the black-out. Most other people run skimmers. There are plenty of ways to get more O2 into your tank if this is a concern.
