im an addict lol
well having a baby takes more time then I remember. I guess its cause im getting old 
. any ways my tanks have suffered major losses I have had a lot of trouble keeping up with water changes. for this reason I have decided to change my water change station to something a bit for hands free. because of my lack of time I have tried to post a couple times and can never seem to even have enough time to finish making the post. so if this happens again I will post it early and add pictures later on
I picked up two 90 gallon vertical poly tanks from Glenn industries in Clearwater area. if you need anything like this he is the man to see. it ended up being cheaper then online by a lot and he installed my bulkheads and even came up with a solution to a couple of my problems and installed everything I needed to meet my goals.
Old setup. my garage is a mess by the way. the barrels and stand will be given away to a reefer who needs them after I am done setting up the new ones. this has worked fine for me for 2 years.
new vertical poly storage tanks that will be used
Glenn added a larger lid on one of them to make it easier to add the salt into the container. you can also see he added 5 fittings for the 1/4" tubing that I will need running to the tanks. the RO container has 3. one for auto top off to the sump, and second one for an airline that I can use to keep the water from getting stagnant for to long. and the 3rd one to feed from the RODI unit . the salt water container has 2. one for air pump same reason as first. second will be for the autowater changer. I believe it changes out water 150 times a day if I remember correctly. I am planning on having It change out 90 gal per month. the changer pulls out equal amounts of water from the sump as it is adding new saltwater back to the tank. the water level in the sump will never change.
the very poorly sketched out plan. everything will be mounted on one board on the wall not 3 as pictured. I will be building a stand Im thinking 15" tall. this will allow a 5 gal bucket to fit under if ever needed but everything will be automated so shouldn't ever need to run a hose or carry a bucket!!!
