175g Saltwater predator tank - Update:Aug 10th/10- FISH ADDED

I keep my tanks at around 78-82 u may need a new heater it is best to run a few smaller ones so if one fails u wont have any heat. As for ph 7.5 is low i see you do not have a skimmer a skimmer will help pull oxygen into tank bringing ph up. Try more surface agitation. Run cheat o in the sump on reverse lighting as display will help.

Actually I do have a skimmer and it works well I just need a bigger one.

Could I not just add PH upper?

I guess I can't use ph upper b/c it's only for FW. Is there any other way to get my ph up? What about baking soda? I also do not want cheat-o.
