No more progress so far. I'm trying to set this up between work and the gentleman who agreed to help me. Will keep you posted as soon as something changes. Chomping at the bit!

Congrats on becoming a reefer Girly!

Sucks to get only so far when it comes to us Girly's and plumbing.
Hopefully you will get it up and running soon.

How much water do you guys recommend putting it? I still have to add sand and rock which will add to the volume. What's a safe amount of water to have(once the sump is full).

I would add the full amount. A lot easier/cheaper/cleaner to find leaks with fresh water instead of saltwater. As you add rock/sand you will have to take some water out, but it's shocking how little water the rocks actually displace, they soak up most of it.

Nice setup so far, should do very well. I love that sump, should make life easy.

Red coral had some wicked pieces of live rock when I went this afternoon. Really light ones too.

I mixed my salt in my tank when I was setting it up. I don't think there is anything wrong doing it that way if there are no livestock still in it.
