Bro, is your ph monitor near any electrical power points? The readings will jump constantly if that's the case. But mine is fluctating only 0.01-0.05 difference.

This is normal. Should fluctuate around 7.9 to 8.5 throughout the whole day depending on the light conditions, whether using CR, KR, etc.
