Water mixing station

[Aquaph8]

Show me the best way to setup
a water station please. Thx

This is what I have set up in my garage. The top 32 gal. Brute container holds my filtered water and I just open the spigot to fill the 20 gal. mixing can. This then gets easily rolled over to my DT.

Right not i got a internal pump inside mixing when i need saltwater i hook a flexible hose to it pump it to my 5 gallon bucket.but i will soon have another uniseal at bottom running to a external pump then another outlet at the top for salt only.will make a close loop system when mixing with a spray bar at the top of the saltwater brute can..Just gotta get around to finishing it..

This is great! I'm thinking about getting a RO/DI system and this is exactly what I needed to see.

Here is mine. Two 20 gallon brute trash cans, have a circulation pump that runs 15 min every 4 hours or all the time depending on if I'm mixing salt. Have one holding fresh water and one salt. Works really good also have a maxi jet 1200 in the bottom of mixing can along with heater.

Nice job..Thats what im waiting on .. panworld pump is that?

40 px and works great. Only thing I would have changed is have a spout for RO water and spout for salt water. Just didn't have room and it still works great!! Pan World 40PX - Bulk Reef Supply

My mixing reservoir is tucked away in a closet, so here's a quick video as pictures would prove difficult!

RO/DI line is connected to a float valve on the backside. The elbow with ball valve allows for a 5 gallon jug or bucket underneath, and I attach vinyl tubing to the 3/4" grey barb fitting and pump direct to tank. Pump is a Mag 18.
