81.5

I'm just going to raise the lights 6" or so. That should keep things under control.

I don't know...but I'm wondering how it got to 8.8 in the first place. If you stop whatever causes the high pH, it should return to normal on it's own.

This assumes that the value that is sought is for filtration. I think the real value/interest behind this idea would be import a lot of interesting life into a cold water setup.

I've proven that if you dose silica, you can grow diatoms. This did make the tangs happy as they are back to grazing the rocks again. Unfortunately, growth of diatoms hasn't caused the cyano to...

I'm guessing that this is what happened. There's no reason to suspect that there was anything unusual going on in the 30. That tank was stable and hadn't changed (except for corals getting bigger)...
