Default Something is wrong...

This morning when I looked at our tank, I seen little bits of death all over..
Parts of torches - dead! Parts of frog spawns - dead! Duncan coral - dying! Colt coral - dying!!!

All of our levels are exactly where we want them to be.

Salinity -1.024
Nitrates - Less than 10ppm
Temp - 77.9-78.1
PH - 8.25
Ca - 420PPM
Mg - 1350PPM

.. & the list goes on, all near perfect.

WHAT IS HAPPENING?!

I'm not familiar with a test kit that measures between 8 and 11. Is it 8, or is it 11? Not from the last time you checked, but from right now.
