Test Results are in:
pH: 7.8 - It is strange it was lower than that yesterday and I added a buffer and we were back at 8.3. I sprinkled some buffer in teh test tube to double check and within a second the tube exploded with purple
AM: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0
Temp 78.9- 79.4 F
Now today I accidentally had the heater in the wrong outlet and when I turned my room lights off the heat went off when I got back the tank was at 71.3 degrees F. Do you think the tank went through a min cycle when the turned the heater back on?
Aside from that here are some other notes to point out:
I found a mini serpent star inside my Monti Live Rock. When I out him back in he didn't move and then all of a sudden he was racing for a crevice.
I am getting some spots of diatoms and some green algae.
I need some opinions on if the tank skipped its cycle or not. Also why the PH is constantly being lowered, even when I add a buffer.
Livestock:

- One tailspot blenny
- two red fire fish
- one green clown goby
Invert
-4-6 dwarf blue hermits
