So im getting ready to put the tank together as everything has came in today. My 70lbs of LR is in a 30 gallon trash can with 2 power heads, and heater. I have another 20 gallon of saltwater thats been mixing for 48hrs in another tub. I check salinity, nitrate, and ph. The ph is very very close and the salinity is fine BUT the nitrates in the LR tub is in between 15-20ppm while the RO is at 0 like it should be. Is that a good thing or bad thing for my LR tub to be that high and is it ok for me to use the water from that tub to put in my tank? The LR has been sitting the tub for probably 48 hrs as well
