    Tank 1
    ph is fine.
    KH is high, this will lower naturally test before you dose again.
    CA 400 is ok 420 to 480 is ideal though.
    Salinity should be 1.025 (double check your refract/swingarm at a store, and purchase a floating hydrometer as well)

    tank 2
    KH is fine, 8-12 is optimum
    CA is lowwwwwwwww
    raising the salinity should help with polyp extension, too high will bring on infection.
