mixing station

Hi Guys, For years I have trudged over to my LFS once a month or more to refill my collection of 5 gallon jugs. But this will be coming to an end fairly soon -- later this week I will be receiving a 4 stage BRS Value Plus RODI unit. I plan on placing the unit under my utility sink in my mud...

I’ve noticed my newly mixed saltwater having some brown “stuff” in it lately. Tried rinsing and wiping away the brown build up on the walls of the container (nfs brute can), but it came back after a couple mixes. The last water change I did on my 55 g seemed to tick off my Duncan and hammer...

It's been 20 years since I kept fish and now seems as good a time as any to start up again and it's amazing how much the hobby and technology has changed in that time. Since January 1st 2021, I've been slowly building my reef tank piece by piece. It's only been 6 weeks, and I don't event have...

What’s the best pump out there to hook up to a mixing station? I have two 210 gallon drums that it would be hooked up to and I mix about 600 gallons of water a week. I’ve gone through 3 L2 pumps in less then a year so it’s time for some better options that can stand up to mixing the salt. Any...

December 2020 One Year Two Years Old Three years old Since 2015, I've been keeping a 60 cube tank. I used dry rock and the system took some time to mature and eventually evolved into an acropora dominant mixed reef. I enjoy seeing larger colonies, but space was getting tight and with...

Recently upgraded my tank from a 40g AIO to ~120g total volume and now need to be able to make my own water both RODI and salt. I am in the process of getting all my ducks in a row to build a mixing station. Here is my question/ situation: I live in KC where in winter we can have a stretch of...

Like the title states, looking for a pump for a mixing station. Doesn't need to be that impressive as the head pressure will only be around 2-3'. thanks

Hello peeps, just wanted to get everyones thoughts on this. I have two 32 g brute trashcans that I've drilled holes in for bulkheads, I then bought all the plumbing and a hydor seltz d 1000. I have all the necessary valves, float switch, and BRS RODI system. PS needed this for entry in giveaway.

A little late starting this, but after 15 years I finally decided to try reefing again. Currently set up in the fish room are 15 freshwater tanks (really 16). Swore I wasn't going to go down the reef path again, but it was always there tempting me. So after months of debating and catching up on...

Hi all, I am working on setting up my RO/DI unit in my laundry room at my apartment. I've been looking around for a non-copper Y valve for my washing machine cold water valve. I've found them for garden hoses but am not sure if those will work. Any ideas/suggestions?
