Disaster in my tank

Temperature now at 82 since yesterday. I was using RO water with a buffer from seachem to make it 5.0 ph. Some chocolates looking better but don’t know if they ate yet. The paros are eating nicely. I believe 2 of the 12 have closed fins as of yesterday. I don’t believe number is growing.

My well is in my back yard, 200 feet in the ground.

Tomorrow i plan on draining tank to 10 gallons ( now at 7.4 ph) and slowly add back 5.0 ph RO water.

I know I’ve read the ph for paros can go even to the 4.0 area, but what should my constant target be?

I’ve also seen a lot about conductivity. Can someone explain that to me and what i need to measure it?
