Whats up everyone. I set up my tank on Thursday night, it took a few days for the water to clear from the sand, it looks alot better but still a little cloudy. I ran some tests on my water, and wanted to know if these readings are good for a tank that is a few days old. The only thing in the tank is sand, and my only filteration is my Emp 400 until I get my protein skimmer in a few days. Anyway, here are the readings, let me know if these are good for a new tank.

Gravity: 1.023
PH: 8.2
Nitrites: 0 or Non Detectable
Nitrates: Under 10.0
Ammonia: .025
