Grounding a turntable and a tonearm


As I learn about the world if high end audio I hit moments I feel really dumb and this is one of them.  So I have a SOTA Sapphire VI turntable and a Audiomods tonearm.  I have the ground that comes out tonearm going to the Phono stage ground post.  But I am having a nightmare time with static and popping etc on the turntable and someone said I have not grounded the turntable.

Well looking under the turntable there is a ground post.  So I have two grounds and I am not sure the right way to wire this!  Do I wire the tone arm into the ground on the turntable, and then run a wire to the phono stage, do I run two wires to the phono stage, whichI think could cause a ground loop?  Do I take the turntable ground somewhere else?  Just trying to figure all this out.
