Do you have a refractometer? You will need this for reading and monitoring salt levels in the tank.

Most people set their tanks about 77-79 degrees from what I've seen and a salinity of 1.024-1.026 depending on the salt you are using its tough to give directions but there is usually directions on the bucket it comes in. Usually half a cup for every gallon of fresh water with instant ocean reef crystals with a temperature of I believe 78 will give you 1.025
At least that's what my bucket says.
If your setting up I would get test kits (good ones not bargain brands) so you can monitor your tank for the first few months to see how chemistry works. What are your plans for the tank? Fowlr? Reef?

Any other info on equipment you have for the tank?
