After resealing already before filling we realized we had a small leak (very slow) drained the water past that point and resealed that spot again.

Fixed the small leak, filled it back up, waited on water to clear tested salinity, got it to 1.026 then added rock then sand

So here’s where we are now, waiting on hubby to plumb sump etc (He insists on doing it himself), I’ve added fritz turbo start and my Chaeto came in so it’s in a fish net in the tank for now until I can move it to Refugium section of my sump. I moved some calupera (I think is how you spell that) from my 20 gallon tank to it. And I made a “skirt” with fabric trim and command strips to hide the equipment.
