No the ph is stable. It's 6.5.
17 Gallon Seapora Crystal:: Cherry shrimp and red crystal shrimp

90 Gallon:: p. acei itunji, p. elongatus chewere, p. Saulosi, cyno zebroides jalo reef

So I think I finally found the solution to the random deaths I was having. It was definitely heat related with the CRS but I think I had a second problem as well. I was getting quite a bit of biofilm on the surface of the tank and I think it was inhibiting oxygen exchange. A couple of months ago I raised the spray bar so that the surface of the tank was being agitated.

It has been a few months like this now. There is no more biofilm and I haven't lost a single shrimp that I have noticed. Keeping fingers crossed that I have found the solution. Unfortunately I have lost most of the CRS I had. I hadn't wanted to add more until I was sure I had found the problem.
