So… I wanted to post an update on my tank and say thank you to everyone who helped me!
I have changed it a lot, it’s now a lot more Betta, shrimp and Cory friendly with lots of plants and a more natural feel. Gregory (yep, still has a strange name) is doing well, no stripes, no clamping, eating well, showing her beautiful iridescent greens and blues off. The seapigs (my corys are doing really well, they’ve grown and are very active and my shrimp I think are there, I occasionally see one but the wood is hollow so I think they are happy inside it. I have 5 emerald eyes fizzing about and it’s going well! (Fingers crossed).
Thank you to everyone who helped!

In my book, fixing pH swings is like keeping the aquarium light on all night. :D

But if the OP is happy, and fish and plants look fine, that is all that matters. I'm a sucker for submersed buddha's, but love the driftwood tank.

There’s a hidden Buddha next to the wood, I love submersed Buddhas so couldn’t get rid.
Good luck with your PH. I have really low KH in Colorado, so mine swings a lot. I spend a whole lot of money on buffers to fix it.
It’s hard work, mine KH is low but I think I’ve found a buffer mix that works … fingers crossed.
The new scape looks really good! Hope it's gonna be smooth sailing from here for you now! Don't forget the routine water changes :)
Thank you very much.
Changing routines are set in my head, not to worry!
