Hey all! I have a 13.5 EVO tank. It is going on 7 days old now. I have tested the water and specific gravity every day. Before getting into the specs, let me tell you what is in there:
Livestock:
Caribbean Live Sand
Roughly 10 lbs of aquacultured live rock (red algae and bristle worms living, and other critters).
Blue Leg Hermit Crab
Coarl Banded Shrimp (added yesterday per LFS advice of cycle situation see below)
Equipment
Standard filter and media that came with the tank
Fluval Mini Protien Skimmer
Fluval M50 Heater
Led White/Blue Light
Specs:

ph: 8.0
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrates: 0ppm
Nitrites: 0ppm
Specific Gravity (measured with a scope) 1.026
the LFS confirmed this as well. Any thought about the c
