    Default sump

    I recently added a basement sump, how long should I wait until I tie it into my main system? It's been circulating water in it for about a week now.

    It's a 100 gallon Rubbermaid tub and a 40 gallon fuge.

    I think you can tie it into your main system as soon as you set it up. But letting it run for a week will cause no harm.

    I agree with the above. As long as salinity and temp are the same as the DT.

    I agree, so long as you are not cycling rock in there, you should be good to go.
    I collect PEs, and I'm always looking to trade for ones I don't have yet.
