I've been having issues with low ph for as long as I've had my tank, even possibly contributing to my sps losing color and sometimes dying. My calcium was super high, but my low ph caused my alk to be low and nothing would grow. I ran the test where I aerated some tank water with outside air for over an hour and my ph raised from 7.8 to 8.2.

Now the question is how many outlets to install and how to divide up the loads (powerheads, skimmer, lights, heaters). Should I split up the powerheads so if one circuit fails I only lose some circulation?
