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.
