I have a 46 gallon bow front w/2 Occelaris clowns, an orange spot goby, an a acan, frogspawn, and star polyps, multiple snails and crabs. Salinity 1.025,ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 5, kh 11, calcium 500, mag 1400, phosphate 0. Can't seem to get ph over 8.0 which is at the end of the light cycle. I'm running a reef octopus protein skimmer and a canister filter with chemi pure, phosban and seachem denitrate. 50 lbs of live rock. I don't want to buffer cause the kh is already high enough and I have been keeping windows open in room. Anyone have any advice on how to handle this? I've also lost a blue legged hermit and a Halloween hermit in the last 2 days. I almost forgot I have a cleaner and a fire shrimp. Thanks
