Hey guys,

Well, now that I live in a house instead of an apartment. I can setup a saltwater mix station. Ive never installed one. If you guys have some nice setups, please feel free to post pics of them. If you can, please break down your set want to end up building a 4 container setup. Sounds like overkill, but just preparing for a "worst case scenario" situation. Thanks guys!

Depends how much water i need to make. Ive used 5g buckets and rubbermaid trashcans. When i have to do larger water changes I use a 350g water tank I have outside. Takes about 24 hours to fill and i add all the salt the use pumps to circulate until desired salinity. Once its ready I drain the tanks and pump water through the window.

Personally I try to keep it simple and organized.... granted its never organized lol

This is what I built. Plumbing is not finished. Waiting for an external water pump to come in. I'll be adding quick disconnect hoses to it. So all I have to do is take the hose to the tank, and use the pump to fill, instead of carrying 5 gallon buckets. I saw a video on YouTube. And it made a lot of sense to build something like this. It's space saving and I will have 110 gallons of water at all times 55 gallons of salt and 55 gallons of fresh. Any suggestions would be great. I'll post the finished product later this week.

I'll try to post some pics in the am. I build a stand for 2 brutes and plumbed it all to a pump that works great for ato and water changes. I'd be happy to help you set one up as well.
