I wonder if your ph is low because of low air movement and higher co2 in the basement.

Do you have a fresh air intake for your skimmer or into the basement area for ventilation?
I have to run my skimmer line outside the house due to my pH being low. It is easy to test if that would work or a carbon scrubber as an option.
I am sorry to hear about the fish. Sounds like you have the toxin thing negated, the salt should not have done harm in that size system (unless poured directly on the fish - I accidentally did this with h2o2 and killed three fish [I was aiming at hair algae]).
Voltage no issue, check for metal toxicity from a pump or something in sump. Once a wrench was found in the sump of our public aquarium after it killed almost an entire reef system.
Good luck. I hope you find some answer.

I'm curious if anyone was spraying outside for pests, crops being sprayed for weeds, or the mosquito truck going by on the road.

Why not run it to the upstairs following the same line as your plumbing
Not sure if any of these have been mentioned but a couple ideas.
When was the last time you calibrated your refractometer? Have you ever tested water of live stock? For example, I ask my guy what the SG is every tine I buy something from him. I still test it when I get home but it’s always in line with my refractometer. I’m sure you have thought of all this, just trying any angle I can think of.
What about your other test kits? Are any of them expired?
Have you taken a water sample to a LFS? I’d do that ASAP. If still nothing out of the ordinary maybe send out a sample

Wife said there wasnt any outside spraying in the fields and it didnt smell like it lol.
Refractometer was a $60ish one from I believe Premium Aquatics. I havent taken any water samples anywhere.
Just measured all at 7.603 and ph at 7.4 so I'm going to find a calculator for CO2 hopefully

I just have the api kit and it was 0 along with the seachem ammonia alert badge that was bright yellow. The kit has been spot on so far as I had a little ammonia in my QT once and it matched the level of my badge. Honestly I wish it were something like that as this not knowing is bothersome

Funny that the salinity didn't change after the addition of salt. How are you testing for salinity?
