We are in the process of filling our sump in the Red Sea REEFER 425XL. this is my first sump and first saltwater tank.
My question is about the water level in the sump. How do we know when it’s full? I realize it needs to go into the compartment with the return pump, but how do we know when to stop filling? Should we turn the return pump on and adjust the level as we go? I’ve heard we need to also need to do a flow back test to make sure it won’t overflow, and have heard something about marking the full line on the side? Can someone provide some insight so I can be less anxious about this?
Thank you so much for all the help you’ve already provided! I’ll be sure to post pictures when it’s all up and running
