Slate lowered my pH?

I switched recently to slate tiles instead of sand substrate and it seemed to have lowered my pH from 7.6 all the way down to 7.0. Is this normal and is there anything I can do to raise it? I don't have any axies in my tank yet so I've been doing water changes more frequently in hopes of fixing it (it also seems like it may have caused a tiny spike in nitrites).
