I switched shemps tank to a 45 gallon tank. He is now almost low
end saltwater whoots!!! I took all of his sand from his old tank put it into the new tank moved some of his filter media to the new tank in with the new filter. I let it set added some amonia brought it up to just under 5 ppm. Checked it this morning no amonia and no nitrites. I bumped the sg from 1.018 to 1.020. I was wonerding about how long if any longer at all should I wait to declare it safe for him?

Thanks! Sorry for any grammer I'm on my iPhone.

I would reduce the ammonia for a couple of days, and as long as it tests good, you should be fine.

I dont think you need to add anymore if its testing within acceptable ranges it should be good. Id test it tomarrow morning and night and if its good add him in.
