Why do you need to know tomorrow? You levels won't be perfect from day 1.

You're not putting livestock in tomorrow are you?

Temp: around 80F
SG: 1.026

Ammonia>--------------
Nitrite: If you are just putting water in these should be 0 or close to it. If you are adding LR, expect a spike in Ammonia followed by Nitrite and finally to nitrate.
Nitrate>--------------------

pH: should be around 8.2

Keep in mind your stats won't be perfect since ur tank is just starting. Also ur gonna need alk and calcium test kits. The salifert ones work well.
