I would start out with the tank just filled with plain water, let it sit for a few days and then test for
copper. That way if there is
Cu you have not wasted a batch of
SW. If it is present you can use
CupriSorb to remove it. Or you can remove the old silicon from the inside and re-silicon it.

I think I have the same setup. I use the area above the plastic plate for a
fuge.
I have
LR rubble below the plate. If you use it above the plate you want the rock to be submerged, not open to the air. (Yes Bobby, this is the same pix and I know my
sump needs cleaned! I need to clean it and tank a new picture.)
