Hey team,
I'm in need of some assistance. I am planning on really utilizing the space under my stand to its full capacity and at the same time semi-automate the ATO and Water change process.
This is what I need. I need a water tight acrylic container of the measurements below built. This container will be used to hold RODI water on one side and to mix the salt water for change water on the other side, but it would be nice if it was a single unit divided in the middle.
I would like to see if someone here with plenty of experience can build this for me and of course I would pay for it or if you can point me to a vendor that can build it at a reasonable price.
The measurements are: 18" Wide(Divided into two compartments or 9" each) x 18" Long x 18" High. It needs to have access doors on top for pouring in the salt and for cleaning in general. I calculate that this can hold between 23 and 25 gallons total, which would give me about 10 gallons on each compartment.
This water volume is exactly what I need, as I will do 5 to 6 gallon water changes every week or two and open my RODI valve once a week to fill it up for ATO and water changes.
I'm thinking of something like the one below, but double and with the measurements above.
Below is the design I have in mind for my system, which would allow me to connect the RODI system to the ATO section with a couple of pumps and power heads to stir and move water from one compartment to the next and then to the sump.
Please feel free to give me your ideas or recommendations on this one. I have several wireless switches that I plan on using for this purpose, which will allow me to just sit in front of the tank, hit a few buttons and watch the water move from one side to the next.
Thank you in advance for your help.
