To be clearer, I mean 14 feet from the saltwater mixing tank...not the DT.

Try checking with Glenn Industries in Clearwater. A bunch of people in the Tampa Bay Reef Club use them for their setups.

quick question, why are so many people plumbing their mixing stations (and tanks BTW) with Sch 80 PVC pipe and fittings? its so overkill and a waste of money. the pumps we use get no where near exceeding even 1/4 the limits of cheaper sch 40 pvc.

The only reason people use sch 80 in this hobby is for the looks since you can buy it in colors.

You can buy schedule 40 and connectors in colors as well though not as readily available as schedule 80

For me it was purely aesthetics. Why should my mixing station not look as good as my tanks plumbing?

Then i guess that makes me the weirdo that doesnt care about what the plumbing in my sump (that i cant see) looks like.

My sump and stand are all color coded and matching but my mixing station is whatever. It is in back room where I rarely go and it just generic fittings and such.
I have all color PVC and fittings in my sump though. I am in there a lot with the tank so wanted it to look as sharp. My OCD would have issues otherwise.
I just posted this in the "Lighting, Filtration and other Equipment" forum:

It's portable and has some safety features to prevent flooding and overheating.

Anyone in the North GA/Tenn area.... there is a guy in Woodstock who has every type of container you can imagine for dirt cheap. He's on Craigslist with them. Its kind of creepy pulling in and seeing mountains of containers.
I got two plastic 30 gallon barrels with locking lids for $30 each. They had been used to transport bagged pharmaceuticals. (The guy can tell you exactly what they were used for)

"They had been used to transport bagged pharmaceuticals."
As a pharmacist for 21 years, the only "bagged" pharmaceuticals I've ever seen are drugs that are being sent for destruction (usually they are expired). They are placed in the containers and are then supposed to be destroyed via incineration. While I doubt there is much risk/danger in the containers per se, I'm not sure how anyone would have multiple containers like that legitimately. Just FWIW.

I live in Louisville Kentucky.. Here we can get 55 gallon barrels all day everyday from 5-20 dollars each.. They were all used for Vinegar and coloring in the Bourbon Industry..
Laws prohibit them from reusing them which is Stupid in my opinion.

I use two 35 gallon Brute food grade cans until my Ace Moto Vertical storage container come in which should be any day now. Currently on this one I have set up every thing is 1''. One the new one I am going to be redesigning with the two Ace Moto Vertical containers everything will be 3/4''. I am going to use 6 Cepex Ball Valves and two True Union Check Valves before it hits the TEE and into my PAN WORLD PX40 water pump to stop any back siphon or contamination. Also, I just got a 6 stage new RODI system, PinPoint Salinity Monitor and a Inkbird Temp controller for my heater if needed. When it's all completed I will have around $1700 ballpark into the saltwater mixing station and it's worth every single penny. Next thing I am going to be looking into is a Spectra Pure LiterMeter® III Precision Dosing System and 2 extra Dosing Pumps for fully automated water changes.
