Salt Water Mixing Stations Let's See Them

I have three holding bins. 125 for mixing salt water and two 75g holding tanks. I believe I purchased the tanks from Tank Depot dot com. However, I purchased 5 or 6 tanks at one with fellow hobbyists. That way we split the shipping which came via truck freight. I believe the containers shipped from Idaho.

RO/DI goes to the top barrel. ATO dripped from there into the sump.

Saltwater mixing happened in the bottom barrel. I would open the valve to fill the barrel w/ RO/DI from the top, add salt, and let a Maxi-jet work on it for a few days.

When ready for a water change, I would turn a valve that branched off the return to drain tank water. Then I would open the valve at the bottom of the salt mixing barrel to add fresh saltwater to the sump.

Imagine me pouring a bag of saltmix into a 55 gallon drum with a mag 7 runnning to stir it
 
5 Stage RO/DI Plumbed directly to 2 - 75 gal holding tanks One is for water changes to my 125 gal FW Discus tank and ATO for my DT.
The other is for mixing SW for water changes & extra FW as needed.
Both have heaters, aerations & pumps for mixing/moving the water to where it has to go.
