that's how i add my water. especially if the top off water is fresh. you want the fresh water to mix with the salt before it goes into the display.

No such thing as a dumb question!

The sump is probably the best place to add it. Helps mix with the salt.

Yep, add it to the sump, preferably into an area with high flow. That will help it to mix quickly and keep sudden salinity changes to a minimum.
