Ya but it sounds like you're pretty desperate to get it right up there again so until you figure out what's causing the drop, this'll set it for ya. You just gotta keep adding it back in after ever wc

What are you testing with?

I would do a 100% change and take all the buffers out of the tank. Coral, baking soda, any rocks that might alter ph and just stop messing with it. It doesn't sound like you're trying to breed anything that is ph sensitive so just leave the water as is...

Well I think it's because every time I do a water change to take some of the crush corals out, because I want nothing in the bottom now , so that's the reason maybe , problem is that why is the ph keep going up and down ? So fast

+1 on the baking soda. GRADUALLY! Also, crushed coral in the filters. What sized tank? How long has it been set up? . I maintain a 7.5-7.7 in all of my Chiclid tanks this way.( Just a touch of coral in the media) You can also use crushed coral in a mesh bag in the tank. Baking soda is for emergencies. High acid usually also means high waste in the tank. Are your filters adequate for the load of fishes that you keep? Do you also have high ammonia levels?
