(30 Gallon) New Saltwater Reef Aquarium General Advice

[jacobupnext]

Hello Reefers,

I am brand new to the hobby and this is my first 30 gallon tank. Brief overview of my tank and general setup incase I went wrong somewhere.
Starting out I mixed all my saltwater using a 3 stage reverse osmosis filter making the water to 1.025 gravity. Added API QuickStart and waited a week

do you have any kind of water test kits to test for ammonia and nitrates? if so, what were your readings?

just for references, because i know some people might find it useful, do you have any setup pictures?

i would say you should be ok for where youre at currently. i would suggest a water change though. i suspect that you probably have not done one yet, with as high as it shows on those reading.
