Preparation for the new system
Before I could get going on this new system, there were some things I wanted to have in place.
First of all, I’ve had a quarantine and frag tank system set up in the garage for about 15 months. I’ve been collecting frags in there so I will have stuff to transfer into the new tank once it is ready for coral. Setting that up also gave me a project to work on while I was planning the 300.
More importantly than the QT and frag systems though, was the water mixing/ changing station I set up in the garage.
Water mixing/ Changing set up:
I have 2 food grade 55 gallon drums that I got from a medical supplier that stored bags of water in them. The drum on the left holds RO/DI water only. The one on the right is where Salt is mixed with RO/DI.
The 6 stage 150 gpd BRS RO/DI system gets supply water from the spigot I had installed when I had the utility sink installed.
Once water is made, the pump allows me to recirculate water in the drum for mixing or with the flip of some valves pump it into the tank. I can also flip the valves and remove water from the tank and pump it out into the street. This makeswater changes a breeze!
Your gonna help me... hahahahah!!! Looks great dude... super jealous!!!
