Saltwater mixing station setup -

[Pokerman11]

I'm setting up my mixing station. I have two 50g square liquid storage tanks.

One will be my RO/DI water that will also feed an ATO pump. The 2nd tank will be used for my auto water change

The tanks have a bottom drain plumed for 1" pipe thread.

I'm just trying to think of the best way to plumb these things. I need to transfer RO water to the mixing tank, and the mixing tank needs it's own circ pump for mixing. Also the ATO and AWC pumps (using Neptune DOS.)

It would be great to see a pic or description of an existing system.

Got anything to share?

You only need one pump..
There are a ton of pictures showing how to do it..
See google images for "saltwater mixing station"

Close bottom valve on saltwater side (open all others) and turn pump on and you pump water up and into the salt tank from the RO tank..
Close bottom valve on ro side (open all others) and now you are mixing water around in the salt tank..

Simple..

Add a Y on the outlet side of the pump with some tube/hose and you can pump into your tank from either side depending on which valve at the bottom is open..
