Due to ich breakout in my display, I needed to go hyposalinity. As a result, I needed to move out all of my corals and inverts to a small 25 gallon AIO that im using as a make shift frag tank for the next month.

I didn’t have time to cycle the tank, so what parameters should I be shooting for to keep my corals alive for the next month?

Other than weekly water changes and feeding and providing light for the corals, should I worry about alk, calcium, mg or any type of dosing? I did add some bacteria (micro bacteria 7) that I had on hand, and a few of my bricks that had been in my main sump to try and feed the tank, but im kind of at a loss what the best approach would be for this scenario.
 
Treat it like you would your display tank. Regular testing, and keeping alk, calcium, magnesium, nitrates, and phosphates in stable and acceptable ranges.
