Wow, didn't realize that Catalina delivered that far. Thanks for helping out the California economy

It comes from Southern California. Approx 1200G and it was $550. After figuring out the costs of salt and RO filters it was close to the same price. Not to mention it would take my RODI unit about 2 weeks to get this filled.

So, did they deliver "Salt" water or fresh water (because you mention the cost of "salt") What kind of water parameters did you measure?
Fire up - Nice Job!

It is saltwater. I did not test anything. Hopefully I will get around to that in the next few days.

Great build. I am very intrigued as to what the water parameters are right off the truck.

The water was from the sump connected to the tank. I could test the water storage tank to see what it says, it has not been in contact with anything. The rock and sand were both dry and "new" so I would doubt they are the cause. I assume its my cheap Red Sea test kit. All other tests were done with Salifert.

New Spectrapure UHE100 1 to 1 unit. ($900) No more wasting water for me. I also plan to water the yard with the small amount of waste water I do produce

I decided I wated more RO water on hand so I got rid of the 55G container and went to a 105G container(small one in front) ($150).

After digging 3 holes to a depth of 5 feet and findiing nothing I called a plumber to locate my clean out so I can connect the skimmer and sink to my sewer ($400). Still need to run the pipe about 150ft from the shed to the clean out.

Woodwork and bar $4000
Electrical subpanel $700
Water $550
Reeflo Orca for skimmer $300
Panworld pump for SW top off $100
Please remind me if I'm missing something
