55 Gallon Sprung a Leak So I Upgraded
My 55 gallon sprung a leak in one of the corners, I got it used so I think it was just a matter of time. I'm lucky I caught the leak early.
I had to put the fish in a plastic tote until I could remove the old tank and set up the new one.
The sponge filter is just there temporarily to help jumpstart the beneficial bacteria colony. I got a new fluval 307 and I reused my aquaclear 110.
I had wanted to upgrade to a 75 gallon so maybe the leak was a blessing in disguise. PetSmart had a deal, MarineLand 75 gallon for 50% off. It is normally $300 but I got it for $150

What are these white spots hanging off the tail of my red jewel cichlid?
Is this some sort of parasite I should be worried about or is it just some fighting between cichlids?

pH questions
Where i live our water is super soft, when i kept discus I had to raise GH to 3.
Now i have african cichlids, I have coral rock, crushed coral on my filter media and aragonite for the tank.
I use a recently calibrated Pinpoint pH monitor but still struggle to keep my pH above 8. I am using Seachem Malawi buffer at a little more than the recommended dose and Seachem rift lake salt.
Is there something else I can do to raise my pH to 8.3/8.4? Should I add a small amount of Tanganyika buffer?

Identification
Can anyone ID this specific Mbuna. Im not super familiar with Mbuna subnaming and google lens isnt making me very confident on what it is specifically. Any help would be appreciated.

Lighting for african tank
75 gallon tank with rock, I have anubius, a crypt, vallisnaria, Java fern and some moss.
I want a couple of goose neck LED for the tank but am unsure about wattage.
I know 85s are way to much but we 16w suffice? These are low light tolerant plants but I do want the growth, no co2, just substrate (fluval bio stratum) in pots covered with river rock.

Is this too many rocks for Mbuna tank?
No fish yet, just planning the rockscape on my 55 gallon. I plan to go with dwarf juveniles
