Default Alkalinity sink

well after tracking the alk depleation in my tank for the last week, I have come up with a depleation rate of 1.1dkh/day (24 hour) period.

my Ca is steady at 395ppm, temp steady at 79 degrees with a 0.5 temp swing. PH is 8.0 as always.

so I guess my question is that does that amount of Alk depleation seam high and if so what is contrubiting to it?
