What is the light / motion meter for?

Turns on the lights in the shed when I walk in. No need for a light switch. Just save me some time in wiring up a switch.

Very nice over the top mix station.
Really makes my two trash cans and a couple of pumps look NOT WORTHY!
Thanks for posting.
Like wise I always get the pond version Mag drive pumps for misc use since they come with a 15-20' cord instead of the 6' cord for aquarium pump versions. (I'ts and electrical code thing by the way, the long cord is considered an extension cord indoors and technically would be against code for permanent installation)

This is awesome, I have 2 330g containers I'm using one for RO and one for SW along with a 150g container in case of emergency. This is inspiration for me to go off of. Thank you

Fill one barrel with rodi, turn valve and fill second container with rodi, add salt, turn on mixing pump.

There isn't much need for one with a 40g tank but you start doing 100g+ water changes you can see the need for something like this
I totally disagree!
This is the best thing I ever did for my 55 gallon display.
Then I went ahead and set up an Auto Water Change system that draws from the mixed salt barrel and I'll never have to lug another 5 gallon pail up from the basement ever again, or worry about spilling water on the floor during water changes every week, and I don't get lazy and skip water changes, WOO HOO!
My tank is so much more stable now. Only took a couple hundred bucks and some time to implement the whole setup.
Not as big or sophisticated as most of the stations on here, but here's my solution I just made: 5stg RODI that I plug into my laundry room sink, a 32g can, w/ an 18g saltwater mixing bucket. All narrow enough to fit through my spare bedrooms 22" wide closet door.

Mixing station pimp and plumbing size
Mixing station pimp and plumbing size
I plan on using a couple brutes for my mixing station, and plumbing them up with 1" PVC and a dinner mag drive 7. I plan on emulating the teed pump setup with the standpipe elbowing back to the saltwater container like coffee snob and others have done. Is this kosher? Is the 1" too big or small? Will the mag drive 7 be OK? Thanks all!
