A good starting point with all gear and no tanks on, no air in your wing is to be able to sink when exhaling a full breath. (OW 101 as the infamous one would say.)
Add a few lbs for Al tanks (4lbs positive each when empty)
Once you have the weight correct you can adjust your trim per one of the methods these folks have mentioned.
Don't fear the pool! Yeah CL sucks, but a good rinse will work. It may be more convenient to work things out in the pool. (everything at hand at the side of the pool)
