I am setting up my saltwater storage tank. I have heard mention of a sediment filter for the storage tank. I am going to use tropic marin salt but still wanted to place a sediment filter. Anyone have any idea how to plumb this? Pictures would help if you have done this. Thank you!
 
Get a filter like one of these.

Plumb that into your line that will go inbetween the pump and DT tank or sump. You can put in any micron sized sediment filter you need.
Note: If you plumb that into the re-circulation side, then the filter will clog with salt when mixing. You can get away with 1 pump if you plumb in a filter bypass when mixing. Use valves to do this.
