Been awhile! I ended up with a small leak in my plumbing that wasn't found on the initial test fill. I have know about it and put up with the massive amount of salt creep for a long time. It was making me have salinity issues and I knew I'd have to empty the hole tank to fix the issue. I have finally fixed the issue! Over the last two days I have drained the tank, took everything out of it, moved the tank from the wall, re-plumbed everything, and now I'm in the middle of resetting it up!
