Just set up my lortone qt6 for the first time. Iām so nervous! It sounds so different from my nat geo tumbler. I filled it half way with rocks and water ( and grit... haha) and i can hear the water sloshing. Should I add more rocks? I have a good valence of different sizes. Also, the barrel bracket is wiggling a little, making a pinging sound. Is this normal? I tightened it as much as I could.

I added some more. Sounds better now and is closer to 3/4 full.
