Start by getting the Sg down to 1.024-1.025. Do this by removing some water from the tank and adding fresh RODI water until the Sg gets there.While you have the Sg so high it would be a good time to look for any unwanted hitch hikers. They should be out of the rock with Sg that high I would think.

try to monitor the temp since its mh. too much temp fluctuation isnt good. consider getting a chiller or lifting up the canopy of temp gets too high.

my first tank is the same one, YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!
Is that a battery backup or a chiller? If battery, I would suggest getting a chiller as these units do get too hot. I was losing fish due to temp fluctuations until I figured that out the hard way.
Have fun with it.
