Mixing Station Question - Horizontal Leg Tank

[Aggie1978]

I am putting together my mixing station and have some great examples from this forum. I would prefer to use a Norweco or Ace Roto 55 gal vertical Cylinder tank but cannot find them locally to pick-up and refuse to pay 3X the cost of the tank for shipping. I have found, however the horizontal leg tanks (see pic). I've seen these used by several posters but have a question about dissolving the salt. The legs are hollow and the bottom of the tank have several crevices around the legs. For those who have used this tank - have you had problems with salt collecting in the legs? Have you had problems with getting the salt to evenly dissolve?

I have two 65 gallon nowesco as my RODI and salt water mixing station for over 5 years. I have a power head at the bottom. Have had no issues with salt mixing appropriately. They are a pain to clean though, but easier than the tall vertical ones.

Thanks, that is good to hear. What size is your display tank? Mine is 100 gal, with a 30gal sump. I was considering the 35 gallon Norwesco. The 65 gal (like yours) is BIG! I figure I could do 25% water changes with the 35 gal Noresco. What do you think?

My DT IS 260gallons now, but my last tank was 110g. I set my water station up with the RODI above my mixing reservoir so that I can gravity feed the Rodi into the mixing station.
