Filling a sump??

[meowzer]

OK ,y new wet/dry sump is supposed to arrive Saturday...what I need to know is this: It is 36x12x22High. The height includes the skimmer.
#1. I don't know how to figure out how many gallons this thing holds..anyone?
#2: When I fill the sump, to make up the water in my tank, do I use water like for a water change? (pre-mixed)

1) 1 cubic inches = 0.00432900433 US gallons
36x12x22= 9504 cu in. X 0.00432900433= 41 gallons
2) Yes
