Your calcium, ph, and SG could all stand to come up a little. Most people try to target calcuim at 400-450, ph at 8.3 and SG at 1.024-1.026. I hope that you meant that SG was 1.023 and not 1.23. If it is at 1.23 it is way to high and I don't think that anything would survive.

if you have corals, you really need to bring that calcium up. I never let mine fall below 400. Are you using a buffer?
What time of day is that temperature reading at? and how are you measuring your SG?
