Morning,
So today I woke up and fed my fish as usual, however nobody moved to eat except for my goby. All my fish are stagnant in the tank. I don't know what's going on. I did a partial water change yesterday. I immediately checked my water parameters and they are as follows:
Amm - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 15ppm
PH - 8.0
Phos - 0
Salinity- 1.023
Tank size 75g

Also I added new dryrock to tank last night. Don't know if that's a factor or not

That temp is high, you can’t say no issue to date whilst saying there is an issue!

if my tank I would lower the tank to 80 or below.

Why do you have it so high?

I've researched and read that alot of people run high Temps in their tank to keep down diseases. So I've been doing that and running a air stone to make up for the lack of o2. Also I've been feeding twice a day and doing water changes 30% every week

Tank appears newer
Temp way too high as gradually your oxygen has been decreasing. That’s a lot of livestock in a short time
Are you using RODI water or tap water from faucet?
A lot of Zero readings. Are you by chance using API TEST KIT?

recommended:
Temperature 77-79
Salinity 1.024
Ph 8.0-8.3
Ammonia < .03
Nitrate < .04
Phosphate < .04
Add air stone if able to and increase oxygen

High temps cause issues too, the main fish diseases are not cured by high heat.

I'm using RO water. And I'm currently using an airstone. And my test kit is API

You have an issue now!!
I Would be freaking out if my tank was that high. I get nervous if I get past 80 degrees. Currently running at 77 - 78. Fish might handle it but how are your corals not puking their polyps out.

agree, most seas do not reach that temp in the wild and if they do they don’t stay at that temp for long.

As mentioned api is a very unrealiable test kit I'd go off my intuition compared to using that. Do you have a grounding plug? Do you feel a tingle when u touch the tank water.
