Now just getting my salinity right and checking all water parameters.

Nitrates 0
Phosphates 0
Calcium 400
KH 17
ammonia 0
Salinity 1.026

Everything is coming together i just have to get my alk in check. Any ideas on how to lower it. I know i could possibly swap out 5-10g of water with rodi water it will drop my salinity down some but will also get my alk do or how long will it take to wait it out.

Is it just me, or does the water level in that overflow seem a tad high? Have you thought about putting a T on the backside of the bulkhead, pointing up, with a cap and a hole to let air in?
 
It has air holes in it and it is deeply grated... Its the way its built it has a plate in the middle making the water go through the sides and then through the bulkheads its hard to explain but everything is working fine so far...
