Clarkiis Breeding?

[AHRPR]

This morning when I woke up I saw that the clarkiis had made a pit of some sort in the back and they were both sleeping in it, is this a sign of anything?

Could be nesting ~ Keep us posted! Before I went BB, my clowns used to keep the sand cleared away from their 'area'. They were very obsessed with keeping a clean house.

I also have a question about pH, I don't want to oppen my windows because it is hot outside. I figure my pH is high because the heat, is there another way to lower to pH some?

Temperature has no bearing on PH. What is your PH level? How are you testing your PH (I HIGHLY reccommend a PH probe)? What are you dosing?

Im using Aquatic Pharmeucitcals On the thing it says its 8.4+ I think its alittle hiugher than 8.4 too but its kind of har4d to tell from the shade. I don't dose the tank with anything, its just a 10G and i use ph buffer from seachem, but barely any not even a pinch just to get it up.

Im also not dosing into the tank its into the WC

I would not be concerned with 8.4. I would leave it alone. Maybe reduce or eliminate the 'pinch' of buffer on your next water change. Be VERY careful making adjustments in a 10 gal... it wouldn't take much to drastically alter it. Here is a great link: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-05/rhf/index.htm
