Salinity is good? Your alkalinity 136 dkh is high the ideal range is 8-12 dkh. High alkalinity can lead to ph fluctuations And make it difficult to maintain a stable water chemistry.
For lowering your alkalinity use a buffer solution or water changes to gradually reduce alkalinity to the ideal range.

As well as you phosphates are high 1.0 mg/L the ideal range is 0.03 to 0.07 mg/L.
Use a phosphate remover or do waterchanges to lower. Clownfish are fairly hardy fish any spots on the fish? Hows the breathing is it breathing heavy? Has it moved?
 
He’ll slightly peak above rock but just stays down there that test was Sunday before my water change. I guess I’ll do one right now.
