Achieving and Maintaining tank stability
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		Ive been testing my tank every couple of weeks after water changes and am having problems maintaining stability with my parameters in my 180.  My 55 is a month since my last water change, tests as follows: 
Ph 8.3 
Mag 1200 
Cal 460 
Dkh 6 
 
180-water changed on Saturday 
Ph 8.3 
Mag 1150 
Ca400 
Dkh 6 
 
I picked up a doser for the 180 but have not installed it yet.  I'm having issues with the corals in this tank, but everything in the 55 is growing like crazy.  Both tanks are mostly lps with a couple of softies. 
 
Should I be concerned with these results and be raising them?   I'm using salinity salt and salinity is 1.026 in both tanks. 
 
Temp on the 180 is 79 and the 180 is at 80. 
 
Thanks
