Well Greg, when you're just waiting for water to fill the tank, there's not much that you can do. We were pretty busy at work though, so I actually did some work while the tank was filling.
On a bad note, the pressure locking baffles don't seem to hold very well. I was kinda expecting that though, so I'm going to use some more egg-crate to hold them in place. Not much of a setback.
On a positive note, the tank is running! I adjusted the float switches and the pumps are running. I have to tweak the drain to the sump because it was splashing. I also had to take the 90 degree elbow out of the overflow area because the elbow was restricting flow more than I wanted. So far, the whole setup is rather loud, and I don't even have the skimmers going. I'm guessing that when I get the salt added, it'll quiet down a bit. The saltwater just seems to flow different than fresh. The temperature controller is running too. I'll stop by work this weekend to check on the tank.

Oh I've got plenty of zip ties! I'll clean up the wires once I route them all close to their final destination. :)
