I have been testing the tank religiously the past few days. The tank had been set up a week Monday. I had the chance to use 2 separate test kits (API & salifert) and am having pretty much the same results besides nitrates showing closer to 5ppm with the salifert test compared to 0ppm on the API
Temp: 77.0-77.5 (My RKE has been doing a great job keeping the temp stable even as I'm running mh)
PH:8.2
SL:1.027 ( a little high, haven't set up my ato yet)
Ammoina:0ppm
Nitrite:0ppm
Nitrate:0-5ppm. I added a chromis from my other tank, (the only one I could catch) and he ended up dying from getting sucked into a maxi jet 1200 I had running I added my false perc clownfish yesterday and he's loving it! He explores the tank and swims around all day. My paramters on the new tank compared to the old are identical besides the nitrates in my 20g are 10ppm+. I'm going to be keeping a close eye on water quality on the new 75, but everything's going good so far!

My finally added my protein skimmer to the tank today. I also added my gsp colony today to the tank.

Oh lol. The tanks 12" tall and I had to have my water level at least 8.5" for my skimmer. So far everything has been very stable.

It's been awhile since my last update so I figured id share with you guys what's been going on. Tanks doing good! A lot has changed. First off, I had an issuse with my paramters a few weeks ago due to some misreading test regeants. The thanks paramters as of today with new, accurate test,
PH:8.2
Alk:8.7
SL:1.026
Ammonia:0ppm
Nitrite:0ppm
Nitrate:0-5ppm
Ca:420
Mg:1580 (my older test kept reading 1200ppm of mag, glad I got a new one)
P03:0.25ppm
I ended up re aquascaping the tank after I added 20lbs of live rock from my 20gl.
