Brown tips can occur from underwatering also.

A reef tank is a totally different matter. If you, or any animals you have can drink it, it's probably fine to use. I use to water for my organic grows. I don't seem to have any problems with it.
Maybe this could be true…. I read everything 2 days but it’s definitely been hot n like I said there’s not one point in the day she’s in shade it’s been nothing but sun in New York

Keep microbes thriving in the soil, and they'll adjust the ph to what they want it at.
Ok maybe I’ll try it then if you think that will fix this ….do you leave it out for 24 hrs or screw it? Idk I think I read some shit needs to evaporate

Most like the chlorine to evap out, but again, most people just use tap water to water houseplants, give to animals or drink themselves. If it were harmful, you'd already know.
I found the numbers to be the sweet spot, you can tell what the plants like. Fox Farm nutrients and advanced nutrients also affect my ph a little as well. Coast of Maine Soil with extra worm casting and perlite

Dude those brown tips are from tip burn. There was too much nutrients for it. It wouldn't have come from the soil, its because of the feed. Just feed water now till you start seeing the colour lighten up then feed every other watering at about quarter strength till you go into flower then go to about half strength. Those yellow leaves can happen if the airflow around the base is low or there isnt enough light. Just pull them off. It can happen when feed is low an they start eating stored food from older leaves to fuel the growth at the top. But you have enough feed now. If the tips stay about that much your ok, but if they keep getting worse just put loads of water in it an then dont water again till its kind of dry. They will work themselves out.
I just fed tonight for the first time they were there before that the brown tips…
What numbers the ph ?

get yourself a copy of Marijuana Growers Handbook and learn something before your try to grow something. It's frustrating when all you do is fail and depend on others for info. Educate yourself

How long have you had them in that new soil ? An is that brown apearing on new growth ?
Also did you let them dry out too much at any point, as you said it has been very hot.
I think you will be fine, hopefully it should adjust to what ever went on an recover. Just do the basics, is all you can do really, good soil, sunlight and air an water should do the rest. Probably just had abit of a wobble with the new soil. The plant itself still looks strong.
