cycle is only halfway there i think... you gotta test weekly throughout the cycle to know where it is. conditions may worsen later so i would highly advise taking NateL on his offer.

btw nate, that really is very kind of you. lol we canreefers take care of our own. we're a big happy family

No problems, ive got a QT tank all set up, though they may be a bit cramped in a 20g, its better than nothing.

And bingo you have a cycle! I would say re-test the pH. Since your tank is empty I wouldn't worry too much about it. Assuming the test it correct you could do one of two things, a water change, or you could leave it for a day or two and see what happens.
