How do you know how full the tank is? This question is from a Newbie that will not pick his FW up for two more weeks.

If the monitors don't work well, you will know the grey is full when it backs up in the shower, which is not too ugly. When the black is full is will back up in ... well, it does get ugly.

Absolutely keep the black closed until at least 3/4 full.
I keep the gray closed also until it needs dumping...
The full flow of water helps clean out the system, otherwise you risk clogs and waste build up.

Ditto!!
