Yes I have definately been monitoring all of that since the move, especially since I expected a soft cycle with the new live sand.
As of June 2nd, my perameters were the following:
Salinity: 1.025
Ammonia: 0
Nitrate: 0
Nitrite: 0
Calcium: 380 (touch low for acropora, but didn't want to start adding extras in yet.)
Alkalinity: 4.5 meq/l
PH: 8.3
I am checking my perameters about once per week the day before doing a water change.
When I first did the change over there was a small cycle where the nitrates got between 5-10 but that was expected.
