Good Moring all,
I have finally got all that I need to make my mixing station. I will be making it a little bit different from others as I have very little room to use. It's going into the area on the right in the pic.

I will be making a stacked station that is Gravity fed, no pumps. I bought the BRS 4 stage, and I have a DI canister that I will be adding to it to make it a five stage.

I will also be using Brute cans since they are really food grade. the water line is coming from my 2nd bathroom line that I actually have access to because of the panel.
and yes I will be making repairs as well since the previous owners had NO dang CLUE what they were doing. (duck tape really? Mcgaver FAIL!)

I will continue to update this thread as I progress but here are pix of what I have so far, along with my inspiration for this build.

so stay tooned!! (yes that spelling was intentional, just call me Wile E.)

I love it. I recently placed a 220L barrel ontop of my washing machine. And the weight of it is deflecting the roof of it so much it's a joke lol. I'm a silly boy.

The Phyto-Pod bar is EPIC!

I am upgrading the "bar" with some new culture vessels I got from a beer brewing place. They are the perfect size and are made for sterile applications like this.

I'm doing something similar in that I'll have RODI on top of 2 mixing tanks - one for salt and one for kalk. Both salt and kalk will be fed to my tank with dosing pumps so together with the gravity fed RODI into those 2 I'll have no need for big circulation pumps (I'm going to do AWC with a controller).

But I'll still need to do something for the initial mixing of either salt or kalk - perhaps a powerhead just dropped into each tank? What do you plan on doing to mix the salt?
