it raised the PH because whatever was inside the light seeped into the water turning it yellow and murky. Makes sense to me.... And the reading was tested on a ****ty hagen test set. But it appeared to be well over 9. Either way just looking for a way to bring it down a bit.

Wow, that sounds nasty. I suppose those lights aren't exactly water tight. I would just do a massive water change, or consecutive 50% water changes.

I suspect the "water turning it yellow and murky" may be tinting test results. Whatever leaked into the tank may be toxic and that is what is killing the livestock. Keep up with the water changes and if you have any, run poly filter or equivalent. I have some here if you want to borrow some (PM me, still up for awhile).
