So today I've managed to come up with two new concerns as I continue to slowly collect equipment (don't worry, I'm taking pictures, a build thread should be up in a week or two). My first concern is, with my newly acquired koralia nano powerhead, how am I going to run a cord from inside the tank to the outside with the lid on? is it safe to close the lid on the cord, or what is the best way to do this? As for my second question, I'd like to know if it's possible to do my first salt mixing in the tank itself, rather than in buckets. It seems like it would take a very long time to mix all the salt in separate buckets and then add it to the DT. If I mix it in the tank, can I do it when there is baserock and dry sand, or does it have to be completely empty? Thanks!
