About to add LR -- is it safe?

Ok, so I just set up a 15g long two days ago. So far everything seems to be going well, we added the water, brought it up to 78 degrees, and SG up to about 1.020. Then I added 20lbs of Nature's Ocean, and brought the SG up to 1.022-1.023. It's been running like that for a day or two now, mixing around. SG is still around 1.022-1.023, and temp is staying at 78. My question is, what else do I need to test before adding LR? I tested the pH, but accidently got a kit for freshwater (It was right next to the saltwater kits, and I grabbed the wrong one). The FW scale only goes to 7.6, and my water tested above that. So it seems fine for now. Is there a risk for killing my LR when I put it in there if something isn't right? I'd hate to waste $75 on LR, just to kill it because of a stupid noobie error. So yeah, if you guys could give me some tips on this, thanks..

 

(Also, if anyone in San Diego knows of some really good places to get LR, let me know... ha)
