This was really helpful to get an idea of how to go about setting a mixing station up and visually understand the concept of how it works. Thank you!

Finally. A nice, coherent explanation of these. Bravo buddy, bravo.

I used an old salt tank from water softener (Free) to store rodi water above and brute container for salt mix below. Cheap enough and still productive. It all depends on what your willing to spend or afford. Yours is rock solid in design and construction, well done!

Goals! It's on my 2021 list. Absolutely love this setup. I have a place in my Garage that is cut in just like that. Great job.

Bro I am new to reefing. I don’t even have a tank set up yet but I bought the water containers and the rodi system so I’m following your set up. Thank you so much.

Super clean setup!

Awesome video! I recently put together my "Cheaper" version of a mixing station and it will be interesting to compare to your version, I'm definitely going to add the last sediment filter like you did as I never would of thought of that hahaha... Keep up the great content!!!

I I live in france , juste to let you know that your vidéo is magic !!!! Thanks a million ! And .... Bravo 👍!!!! Stuart from Britany

I've been wondering about these salt mixing stations. Thanks for sharing👍

Thanks a million! You have no idea how much this helped me!

Very nice!! Thanks for taking the time to share. Good job!

Yapsolutely would love to see a mixing station under $100 besides I plan to do a video of my mixing station soon it isn’t as heavy duty as yours but definitely gets the job done along with AWC. Thank you for sharing this and as always great content.. 👍👏👏

Great system design, simple and cost effective if you are providing water for several tanks.

Yes show the affordable version.

Excellent video! I'm new to reefing, so keep it up. I am now a subscriber!!

Great video, thanks for sharing! Planning my own version!

Very Clean setup. Love it.

extremely helpful video - thank you for this!

Yes I would be interested to see the smaller option- good vid, nice and informative👍

oh! that would be awesome to see you do a smaller version. seeing that my wife takes up 90% of our garage space. lol. in brute cans or a smaller version tank! thanks antonio. this is clyde by the way, the same guy that offered his cube 20 as a demo for your filter canister

Love love love this video. This is the best mixing station and this is exactly what I want to do. Thank you. Wish I can find those tanks with the measurements on them and that price so ill do my homework.

Nice set up very neat 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿😀

Great video, thank you. That’s what I was looking for

Absolutely yes please!!! I would love to see your "cheaper" version, I don't have the space or the money to make one like the one you have now, so that's a big "YES PLEASE" for me!!! Oh, BTW... Love your vlogs!

Love the cheaper set up idea. Also would love a possibility list. For example, I bet you would use brute trash cans for the cheaper version. Maybe lost/show containers that are more horizontal for those with limited space.

Smart idea. Really like the idea of using the pump to mix. Would deffo be interested in a cheaper build

Awesome video !

You nailed it buddy... thanks for sharing.

Sweet video...thanks! I am going to emulate your tank as much as possible.

Lovely set up :) - Amazing 👍

this helped alot for my upcoming setup. tyvm

I would love to see an affordable mixing station video. I’ve thought of a mixing station but definitely don’t have the need for something quite like this setup

Dope set up 💪🏽

Nice job!

Excellent job!

New subscriber, love it... now I need to do a little one for my 80gallon tank

The more reef videos the better. Make all of them😁

Yes please, cant wait to See, by the way, your Videos are Great, Keep on going.......

Yes do it budget mixing station. Can't wait to see the fish in your reef tank

Would love to see a “budget” version of the mixing station!

Awesome setup

Great job! Thanks

Awesome video. This is exactly what i was also looking for all over youtube. Now I feel more confident about building my own mix station. Thanks!!!. QUESTION: How do you top off your tank? Do you use a bucket to fill your reservoir? and i always watch your videos till the end.

So they make these 45 gallon grain bin or feed bins, that are conical at the bottom they come with steel stands. You can plumb them the same as you see in your video. There the same price shipped as your containers. The other plus of these is there's no dead zone at the one inch mark where salt can sit at the bottom and not get mixed. I've used these for mixing nutrients for gardens and tea's as well. Plus there food grade plastic.

Thanks for sharing!

Very good tutorial ... 🙂 keep it up !

Great video amazing mixing station! Always watch your videos till the end! I'm really curious on how you'll be deep cleaning the mixing bin after 5-7 months once you start seeing some build up in it. Will you use a pressure washer, or fill it up with rodi and add vinegar than rinse? Oh and please do make a smaller version of this setup would love to see how you'll do it. Thanks for the videos!!

Wow, amazing!

I use the big blue hdpe 75 gallon shipping barrels, you can find them for 50-75 USD each.. they have a full open top and lid for ease of use and maintenance.. A lot of Caribbean stores will carry them .

Yes definitely

Thank you for your great explain 🙂💯👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you, very good video

Perfect. Exactly what I want to set up and the size is good. Maybe a mixing station that is around 500 dollars. 100 is probably a bit too budget.

Awesome video! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the community. It will make my project much easier. Just bought RODI and we have a “tank depot” with 50g vertical tanks. Do you use the same hose to drain your tank for water change?

Great video

A budget set up would be pretty cool

One way to save money would be to eliminate the rodi storage tank and just fill straight into the saltwater tank. And save probably 100 to 200 bucks by using regular pvc and valves from lowes.

Would be great f you made the affordable version! Great video, thanks for all the detail!

Amazing video.

Yes please do a budget mixing station

Yes! Let's do it!!!!

Awesome video brother

Looks great.. Fyi Clear tanks get algae build up so does sq 40 pipe. Black tanks and sq 80 solve this issue 👍

Thank you

Definitely would like to see a budget friendly supply

Yes

Yes I want to see it

The most expensive part is the RODI filters and tanks. Look online and locally to get the best deal/size/fit. From there, rely on Home Depot/Lowe’s for plumbing fittings and Amazon for inexpensive pump (Jaebo), heater, digital thermometer.

This is the cleanest set up I’ve ever seen. Do you apply pipe thread sealant to the connections? Also, do you put any other pumps in the saltwater tank or do you just rely on the turbulence from the Sicce pump to mix the salt?

very nice setup, very clean. What about adding another step to be able to drain the water from the tank, any ideas?

Yes,would like to see the affordable version. By the way that’s an awesome set up, I just don’t have the space

Great video! Super informative. I live in San Diego and would to know where you got these containers.

I would definitely like to see a cheaper/smaller version of a mixing station. I currently have the AquaticLife RO Buddie which i use to produce my RODI water. Also, did i hear you live in San Diego? I do as well, what part of San Diego?

Would love to see the smaller mixing station version. Thanks

The purple rodi cups can be bought off Amazon for $15 each!! I built my 3 stage di for $60 with fittings from Amazon

Can you please go into more detail on how you hooked up and what is needed to hook up the sediment filter for the salt? Thanks!

Hi there. This was amazing help. I ended up purchasing the automatic hose reel. Did you change out the hose? Mine is a different colour than your clear hose. And being that it is 5/8 hose, what did you use to connect the hose to your piping? Both ends (of the hose reel) come with typical connectors that looks like metal. And of course they should be plastic for our use. Thanks in advance and great videos - they’ve helped tremendously.

Great set up, quite impressive. How does your water get to the RO/DI system? Is it coming from the sink or sink plumbing?

I’m new to Reefing, so my questions might sound kinda dumb. Your Sicce pump is used to pump RO/DI water from the freshwater tank to the saltwater tank. The same pump is used to circulate the saltwater. You use the hose reel for water changes. Do you also use it for fresh water top off? Since the pump and hose are kind of contaminated with salt does it matter during water top off?

This is the best video I have seen on this topic. I’m trying to copy it. Do you have the ‘piping shopping list’ would help me out loads.

Good afternoon. Great video. Question: Can you post a picture on how you installed the sediment filter coming from the tank to the reel. Please. Thank you.

Still mixing mine in a brute and carrying buckets but only going about 20’

Yes like to see to cheap mixing stations when are you going to do next tank update

Yes let’s see a cheap and compact mixing station.

Yes show a budget mixing station

Great video. Question on the sediment filter installation. Is it inline with the salt water being pumped out through the hose reel? Do you find that it restricts the water when performing water changes?

Yes plz a cheaper version would be great I live in a 1 bedroom flat in the UK so space is a big thing for me

This is a great video. Great job! Question does your sediment filter restrict the flow

Yes do the more affordable version!

How often do you run the pump to circulate the saltwater in the storage container? Once a day on a timer? Also since I live in Florida where the garage can get really hot what is the best way to cool the water with out buying a chiller?

Would love to see the smaller mixing station

I would love to see a smaller version of this mixing station. I have to money but limited space

I am sorry if you covered this but how do you drain the water out of your tank to do a water change? Great video by the way!!

Nice setup! Do you also have a extra drain on top of the tank? Than you are sure nothing bad will happen when the float valve locks in wrong position.

Question, its a Great video, but if you needed to replace the pump, do you recommend putting 2 more unions above and in front of the pump ?

Have you also consider turning your system to provide drinking water as well?

great video! quick question, how are you heating the salt water before it goes in your display tank? Maybe i just missed that part :)

I’d like to see the budget water station set up

Yes pls make an affordable opinion

Heck yea, do the smaller scale set up!!?
