Thanks Md14, I think this is moreless already solved. Ive got an emergency hole drilled in the top of my sump with a line to an empty reservoir should a power outage occur so I think Im ok.
So salt is in, well, not all of it, but most. I will let it mix tonight and test params tomorrow.
Once I get it to a good specific gravity. (what am I aiming for? I thought I read a lot that 1.026 was best but bandit is saying he does 1.024 so what do you guys think? Other opinions?
After this I'll acclimate my live rock on hand and get it in and then start testing other params. What params do I want to test during the cycle? Obviosuly Ammonia then nitrite and nitrate, I know that from FW tanks, but what else do I test in SW?
