Not many ways to raise ph if you had a skimmer you could use a co2 scrubber. kalk will raise it also you can drip it or use it with an ato. Ph of 7.8 is not horrible coral will definitely grow better with a higher ph but it's not that big of a deal.

You know i was told to get a air pump really small want and do like an air stone people said that’ll bring it up alittle but make a lot of salt all over think it’s worth it or not

You could do an air driven skimmer that would help.

I've done these things struggling with the low ph. I opened the windows, I put the air stone in, finally I've drilled the house walls and run the outside air line. All those things didnt budge the ph. What took the ph past steady sub 8s was kalkwasser in the ato. Guess it is true, ya can lead a horse to water....

I run a co2 scrubber and my ph is 8.3 to 8.4 during the day and 8.2 and night.

Interesting I’ll look into the scrubber

Also heard a lot of people get a small bag of crushed coral and add it to their filter since i have a hang on the back with a lot of room maybe adding a small bag will help?
