125G Established Tank Move

[tuckdaway]

I just relocated a 125 Gallon tank and just after setting up (within 4-5 hours of the move) I added about 30-40 gallons of new saltwater to the existing water on setup.

I started up the sump and here are the readings after ~1hr of running:

pH- 7.8
NH3-.25
Nitrite- .25
Nitrate- 80ppm

I was wondering if I should let the protein skimmer do its thing overnight before doing any additional water changes.

Lots of LR, coral, clown, 2 damsiles, and Vlamingii Naso.

Thanks in advance!

If it were me....

I would go ahead and do the water change now.

It's a PITA after a long day but I would sleep better .

OK....I am thinking 10% today and another 10% tommorrow...

Actually 20%....10% may not do much...

I'd try to change 30% then wait a day or two and monitor your levels and if needed do another wc
