Slow down.
You are trying to get everything done at once which does not work in a reef tank. Things need time to settle and adjust. Just because your paramaters are good now that doesn't mean they will stay that way. If one of the "slugs" dies you are going to have a spike. In a new tank particularly a small one things can get very bad very quickly.
Take your time and do it right and you will be rewarded.
BTW what kind of sea slugs did he give you. The only ones I can think of that are beneficial are sea hares and they need a lot of algae to survive. I wouldn't want more than one in your tank and I'm not sure I would even have one unless I was having a really bad issue.
