Nitrate levels

[Reefer Rob]

Likely you had die-off on your rock from the move. Given time it should come down provided you don't have too much livestock in your tank. Your tank will go through a lot of different stages as in establishes itself, I wouldn't worry about it unless it threatens your corals (if you have any). 25 ppm won't hurt anything, but your corals won't "color" nicely at that level.

ok thanks.... whats micro algae and can you buy it?
... Should I have used some of the established sand or was it ok to use all new sand?
