Your SG is too low for Nems 1.023 min keep it at 1.025 is better.

It's usually up around 1.023, I just did a water change and was a little off, after adjustment its now sitting at 1.0215-1.022, I'll be adjusting that over the next 24 hours now that I know 1.025 is better, Thank you!

76F is a bit low as well 79F is better and will stabilize your tank more.

You need to invest in a good test kit, it is hard to diagnose problems without knowing all your parameters. Take a water sample in to one of the better SW stores and they will check parameters for you for now.
Until you know whats happening keep doing large water changes as often as possible to try and keep toxins from building up and if you are not doing it already get some carbon in running in your tank as well.
Thats all I can offer for now but I am sure some of the gurus on here can be of more assistance
Good Luck
Ian
