Ok cycling tank update! Water test kit came today! Whoot whoot! Now i checked my current tank first. 20 gall.salt. Ph 8.1/8.2, ammonia 0, nitrite 0, nitrate 0. Hydrometer, 1.021/1.022. The new tank 45 gall., all the same except hydro at 1.020. Which i assume i fix which a super small water change, and retest.? Right? Fluval carbon only change, rinse with r.o., and skimmer still not skimming what I hoped for, but, that seems to be due to no fish in tank, so no fish poop. Ive been ghost feeding and used biospera last week? What u all think... time to drip acclimate my 3 little guys in smaller tank to the new one? Or?... i welcome all feedback. Thankyou so much!
Water test? I think i. Ready !

What fish are you adding? How long has the tank been up and running?

You want your salinity up to 1.025 - 1.027 for a reef tank. I would get your salinity up via a water change using this calculator: https://www.hamzasreef.com/Contents/Calculators/TargetSalinity.php and keep monitoring for a few days making sure you keep it the right level and get a feel for how much fresh water you need to add daily to keep the salinity stable. How long has the live rock been in the new aquarium?
