    Maxter did you use cured rock live rock? did you move over the rock from the other tank? Did you use the cycling product? How long have you had this tank running a day or two?

    To be on the safe side I would give it one more day if possible, depends on the leak I guess. Test every day, do the water changes as indicated, feed sparingly, if you start to see an ammonia spike add prime or equivalent as directed. Seeing as your other tank is leaking you really have no other choice. Having just a few fish works in your favor.

    A block of foam between the sump baffle will stop microbubbles from making it to your tank but will have to be cleaned often.
