now you would get a few frags/add them.
proceed in using the reef, stocking it. remember, anything other than salinity and temp I won't discuss because they're guesses, the test kits aren't accepted as accurate in the hobby only guesses. if your ammonia rises slightly in the future, I expect that, it's why we don't want to factor ammonia again on the tank/or have other posted params like nitrate, phosphate etc be posted/they are only guesses and not the real readings a calibrated digital kit benchmarked on a known stock solution would show. you have to get really in depth with testing before it becomes a factor in anything you'll do with that reef.
since you are skipping disease preps, disease now factors in any future challenges along with acclimation. Be sure and read the disease forum: hour long floats are hard on fish/not the right way to acclimate though they'll be fine I bet.
if you start having fish losses, the top two things, the only two things you'd revisit are: acclimation techniques and fish disease preps. you'll be tempted to think a parameter you're measuring with api matters, but it won't be that.
