The Water Goes In!
After figuring out to assemble the bulkhead(thank china instructions =/) the tank was finally plumbed and ready to go.
I used tap water topped with prime until tank and sump were full, Then ran the return to make some adjustments to the water level in the weir. It took almost 2 hrs to get this almost right!!! I dont know if anyone has done this but it was tweaking the return and drain ball valve many times so it wouldn't sound like a waterfall. I think I have the levels almost right. Is the water in the weir meant to fluctuate on occasion about a few mm's? Pic attached
The plumbing is still a little noisy due to the drain. Any ideas on how to silence this?
Glad the tank is downstairs and barely audible.
I put in the tunze to circulate the water then added some salt slowly. I did this overnight giving it plenty of time to dissolve.
Im quite happy with the progress. Once the sand goes in, the livestock will follow as soon a levels are stable.
