Filled the tank and sump with RODI saltwater to a specific gravity of 1.025 with HW Marinemix Reef salt. Read good things about this salt mix...going to give it a try! Using a BRS 4-stage RODI system....this was used and came with the original aquarium setup. I changed the carbon and sediment filters...The TDS after the RO Membrane was around 1-2 TDS...after the DI Resin it was zero TDS, so no need to change those two items yet. It basically took me 2-3 days to produce all the water I needed to fill the tank and sump!
I picked up two 32g Brute trash cans from Lowe's and used them to collect the RODI and mix the salt. The setup came with a few extra pumps...ended up using the pump to the old skimmer in order to mix the saltwater and to pump the water from the Brute barrels into the DT...worked quite well. I'll worry about a more permanent water station setup later!
