Love the videos so far!! You’re the man Mark. Did I miss something... where is the video of how you actually do the plumbing. Got the planning and rules to follow, got the components and then right to examples...? THANK YOU

Been following along with great interest, I used to have a mixing station years ago but didn't have room for it when we moved house, but now that we have recently bought a house I am eager to set one up again. One thing I was criticized about my old design was using a garden hose as they could potentially be toxic. Will be having a much better setup this time and valuing all the different ideas you are showing.

Really great video!

One of those mixing stations would look really good at my house

And the Oscar for sound mixing goes to....1:57

Great series. On your setup how do you prevent the saltwater in the line between the pump and your fresh water tank from contaminating the fresh water when you first open the valve? Isn't all of the water in the line going to backflow until you turn the pump on? Wanting to know because I am building mine now😊

@4:30... having that brute trashcan in front of the electrical panel gave me a heart attack!

I like the aluminum stand with the drip tray where can I find one or get one made? I am building myself a mixing station in my garage and would like a set up like that.

I'm about to copy this build and I ran into something that gave me pause. In this video, you used a water blaster 5000 and you state it needed to push 12 feet up and 60 feet out. This attracted me because this is my exact situation. However, when going to purchase the water blaster 5000, it says "this pump is not ideal for second floor applications". I'm wondering if they're saying that because as a return pump it's not good for 2nd floor applications and will have a negligible impact on using it for moving salt water and ATO water. Obviously, I'm not expecting 1,300 GPH for a water change/ATO with 11 feet of head but I wanted to make absolutely sure this pump is appropriate before I drop $300. When I click the link for the pump in the description, it doesn't appear to be the same pump, maybe an updated version?

What PVC Schedule and size did you use on your client's setup? Ball value size and thread/slip? Other say 3/4" is common: but your video appears to be Schedule 80 and 1". I know most pumps are 1" threaded. I like your setup.

Another great vid! Wait I thought Green Garden hoses leach vs Marine/RV hoses and silicone tubing?

my concern is in regarding the water that sits in the garden hose. Wont this water go stagnate and also take on a taint from the hose? I'm building a station in a space that is not very accessible and wonder how to best to deal with this standing water? Thanks for the advise.

new sub!...

Can u show a mix station build under the aquarium.

So on your mixing station what's all that dark "gunk"(??) on the container on the left.

Where do you get your PVC drip pans?

First

Where can I buy your shirts?!

MR SWT Where can I get garden hoses with plastic fittings online? Link?

spent $10,000+ dollars on mixing station: FOLLOWED delay retirement for 20 years by having reef hobby: FOLLOWED

Were does piggy bank coins from Mexico ? Not important i just noticed that

I just wish RODI was faster. I’m about to plumb my RODI into the water line in my house, so I can simply use a ball valve for on and off

Not sure why you act like factory metal garden hose fittings are ok. People will watch this and think its reef safe. You should have said to get drinking water garden hoses and cut off all metal fittings and replace them with plastic ones.
