Your tank is also looking good!! Your Tangs are awesome!!!
About your Kh, what test are you using? Usually pH and Kh go hand-in-hand, so it's a little odd your pH would be 8.4 but your Kh is 6. The Salifert Alk tests are having issues right now, so if that is what you are using, get another test and/or take it to your lfs to be tested. I've learned the hard way NOT to rely on just one test. If you think something is off, use another test just to be sure before you start over dosing.

I'm so sorry to hear about your Hippo Tang.
That's so sad.
As far as your test kit goes, I use API for my freshwater, but I don't believe it's accurate enough for saltwater. I use RedSea and Salifert Tests (but like I said, beware of the Salifert Alk test). The only false reading I get on my RedSea is the Nitrite test, but I have a Salifert Test to back it up.
Your Kole Tang looks great in your tank.
