I am a new reefer switching from the freshwater side. I just started my first 20 gallons AIO and doing a research to convert one of my larger tanks to saltwater (125 gallons).
Mixing 3-4 gallons for my current tank is not a big deal but I will need a proper salt mixing setup for a large tank. Most of the designs here and on youtube use double-bin setup (RODI and mixed) but I am planning to build a single reservoir station from 55 gallon open-top water drum from Uline.
Why is single reservoir method so unpopular? What am I missing? Attached is my planning sketch. It is ugly but self-explanatory. Please provide your feedback.
