Well when I turn it on it has 3 zeros. Then I test and 1 shows up in the place of the 3rd zero.

Not yet, but it's in there waiting
I would give it a test, just to make sure it will work.
Hate last minute surprises.

Awesome.
Once you have the saltwater mixed, are you going to add sand first?

Oh ya, sand always first. Then rock (easier to move) then water using the rock as buffer so the sand don't get moved about.

Yeah, I knew this wasn't your first rodeo.
Just stating the obvious, in case it wasn't.
sometimes rock is better first, some fish can and will remove sand from under rocks for shelter causing the rock to move and/or fall.potentially harming the underlying animal. and could cause the rock above to tumble as well. i guess it falls down to the fish in your tank.

I don't want the rock sitting directly on the glass. I won't be placing much rock on top of each other. Going with the minimal look I understand your concern though, thanks.

I know right! Took long enough but the result has been totally worth it. No leaks, very very quiet, not a sound from the overflow or the pump. Plus I really like where it's at!
How long do you think I should wait before adding all my Chaeto?
I'm going to start playing with my skimmer tonight. Give it a good vinegar bath & then place it in the sump. Not running of course
This fuge lamp you suggested is also perfect. Light spread is great with very little spillage into the overflow & return chambers.
Yuppers Nana's a happy Yooper!

If you are adding a cycle starter bacteria, I'm thinking once the cycle is complete before putting the macro in. I'm guessing if much ammonia shows up, it would hurt it.
Do you have a container you can actually put the skimmer in and run it with a water/vinegar combination for atleast 12 hours?
It will break it in better.

Lol...pokin the bear hehe
Good job on supporting ur lfs nana. How many reefers r they're around u? How's the pink sand? Pink enough? Tell us more!

Keep up the great work

Not a display sump. Under DT in stand. The Figi Pink really don't look pink to me but I like it anyways.
