I'm doing a big upgrade to my RODI setup. Im adding three additional solenoids. The main solenoid (RODIswitch) is existing and used as a on/off switch. There is a leak sensor labeled "GarageLK" and will work as a master shut off. Each of my storage containers have a high and low optical sensor -...

I put this system together a while back and was just about to rebuild it with new piping and schedule 80 gate valves, unions and other necessary items. Depending on your intended build, this is a complete system. I do automatic water changes, but I also use a Tunze 8155 for my ATO. Because of...

Hello, I currently have a fully setup 80 Gallon Reef Ready setup that I would like to sell complete if possible. Tank Dimensions are 48" LG X 24" W X 16" T. The stand is homemade and 6' LG. I have 2 Kessil A360WE's setup for lights with goosenecks and a spectral controller. I also have a full...

Hey all, I have a 200G salt water mixing station still at my place after a tank tear down. It's worked great with a Panworld mixing pump (included), and side-by-side US Plastics 100G holding tanks. I have a float valve on the fresh water side leading back to a BRS 7 stage unit (all media...

Hello R2R! So I am getting ready to set up a "smart" water mixing station. With that, I am in the beginning stages of planning the design. I have my hands on 3 65-gal pickling containers, so those will be my storage containers. 2 drums will be stacked on each other (connected with PVC) for...

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 have recently successfully implemented an auto water change system into my 120 gallon mixed reef, and I absolutely love it. I'd now like to pick your brains regarding the salt I am using and the one I may start using. Currently I mix up around 55 gallons of Red Sea salt, every month or so...

Wanted to know if anyone using Brightwell NeoMarine salt gets white residue in their mixing container, heater and mixing pump? I'm on my 3rd bucket of NeoMarine and every batch I mix leaves a white residue in my 5 gallon bucket or Brute 32 gallon trash can and all over my heater and mixing...

I'm setting up a mixing station with two 65 gallon drums. I'm planning to do automated water changes using my Apex DOS. So the question that comes up is how do you store the salt-water? Do you keep it heated? Constantly mixing or an occasional run of the pump? Do you prefer to let it...

I use the 34 gallon brute containers to store my RODI and another to mix my saltwater. Like many of you, I keep a container of premixed saltwater with a heater and circulation pump running, so I have 30+ gallons available at all times. I've noticed over time that the sides of the container get...

So I took on the task of upgrading my salt mix station as my winter project. As I added features to the station over the last 2 years it became more and more cluttered...you know how that goes. So I made a plan and reconfigured the entire area. So I thought I would share the results.. Here it...
