It's finally mostly done. The light rack has been rebuilt and just needs a little bit of tweaking to make it easier to hang the lights. Will probably have another small bracket made upto hang the light on. The tank has been pushed back into it's corner and started putting water in tonight. It has about 8" now and will take a few days to fill it.

I'm mixing the salt right in the tank with a Quietone 4000. I was thinking of filling the tank with water and salt. Then filling the sump with RO water to the minimum operating level and adding the appropriate amount of salt to the tank. Then get the overflow running. Over the course of a couple of days this should get all the salt mixed in. During this time I wouldn't be adding any rocks or sand.

After a couple of days, I would add the rocks, which should then bring the sump level up to where it should be.
