Switched from tap to sea water

I've been testing my setup with tap water, but it's been running great, so I emptied the tank and refilled it with sea water. A hell of job to take 135 gallons out of the tank and refill it again. I also ordered some jerrycans and a barrel to keep my RO water and to prepare my synthetic saltwater. Later this week I'll pick up the live rocks and start up the nitrogen cycle.

Tested the seawater
Salinity: not measured
pH: 8.0
KH: 10
NH4: 0 ppm
NO2: 0 ppm
NO3: 10 ppm
PO4: 0.1 ppm
Ca: 320 ppm
