So I have a 29g biocube set up for about 7 months now, I just recently got a BRS ro/di system and new salt. I let the ro/di system run for about hour and a half before using any of the clean water, i also switched salts and I used the Red Sea salt. Heated and mixed the salt. Did a 5g water change. Then later on in the day I added a new heater and bumped up the heat from 78 to 80*. I tested and got:

PH 8.2( have had a problem keeping it consistent dont know why )
ammonia 0-0.25
nitrite 0ppm
nitrate 0
salinity 1.024
copper 0
ive been watching my fish for a few hours off and on and they seem to be acting different. They seem to just "dozing" off and are acting different but they ate and are upright. All my corals are fully open and seem fine but I don't know if this is a sign that something could be going wrong in the tank? Any ideas?
 
Well, I might think it would be the temp. I keep my tank at 74-76 degrees. Just my opinion, 80 is too warm.
Would rather see 0 ammonia and just a couple points of nitrates too.
Are those numbers on the fresh mixed saltwaer or the tank water?
