I have a 13.5 galón packed with corals and I upgraded to a 60g but I want to have the right parameters so I can add those hard to keep Sps. I dream about the Walt Disney one .

How will I know my tank is ready. It is cycling with just bacteria , sand.

What is the range that I should aim to start adding sps

Also, for the salt I always get 1.027 . Is this high? I added a bunch fresh water to bring it down and it just goes back to that range

Was it seeded with bacteria from previous tank? Also 1.027 is a tad high I would drop it to 1.025-1.026. I would keep everything stable for a month or so and then add some easy corals to be sure.

I added brand new bacteria in the new one. I have aptasia and maybe ich in the old little one. My clowns are always by the hammers and my torch it could be burnt from them.
Is there a test to see if you tank has ich?

I would just treat it for ich if you think it has it!
