1) Raise your ph to 8.4
2) I personally dont like my tank to get hotter than 80.

They like high light so make sure he is getting plenty... Hope this helps a little

My tank temp goes around 79-82 and seems fine any where in this range. Frogspawn will do well in some different current conditions, light to med IME is best. I would keep it on a ledge away from the rest of the live rock or above to prevent stinging other corals later. Half way down would be fine. Frogspawn are pretty easy and can be feed if you wish.

48" IMO really requires 2 MH not one, for best spread but I have kept frogspawn in many conditions including PC, MH and even NO very close to the light in a window tank.
