Hello everyone I’m currently upgrading to 50 IM EXT. I noticed my overflow is pretty loud. I tried to adjust the main drain gate valve. I noticed it starts leaking from the overflow drain. So I open it back up and the leaking stops. I have filled it up with RODI water, slowly measured and added salt a few days ago to bring it up to 1.025 SG. I also added turbo fritz bacteria along with bacteria and two more bags of live sand.

This is how my tank looks today.
