Fantastic Video! I am setting up my RO/DI station now and you have made it super simple. Quick Connects are sick!! Thank you for shooting this video and happy reefing.

Great Video!! I thoroughly enjoyed watching your mixing station tutorial. I'm in NO way a plumber and the sight of all those unions, valves, etc., just kind of makes my head spin. But your system made sense and I like the fix with the quick-connect fittings. Your video is going into my file for my new 75gal set-up. When I get settled I want to set up a 75 3sided system, so I want this done right from the get-go. Keep the videos coming.

+Dave Davis LOL trust me I had no experience either but I sat down with a piece of paper and drew it out. I am not going to tell you about all of the mistakes I made and had to run back to the hardware store to buy more parts. LOL

man i really digged your setup! so much so, that i followed your video step by step!Would it be possible to post a video of you doing a water change to see the system in action, and to make sure i did everything right. Thanks...

Nice setup. I would put 2x4 under the top frame and use the wood for support instead of having the nails/screws hold the weight of the top bin.

Thank you , this is by far the simplest and the best system I've seen. quick question... you've mentioned dirty water, do you use the same "P" shape to siphon dirty water as well as pump fresh mixed salt?

@iammrhappy12 8 жыл бұрын

It seems like there's a section of your system that is used both for draining dirty water and returning new water from and to the tank. Isn't that going to contaminate the new water that you just mixed? I understand you need to use that same section to prime the plumbing, but it kinda defeats the purpose of having new water? Thanks

Wish he was still active. I'm making my station right now and want to make it with ability to drain my tank like he did but need help

Hello Big Mike, I was wondering if you could tell us what the brand name of the pump you use in this video. Awesome video and mixing station.

@michael8866 8 жыл бұрын

+RoodBwoye II The one I had in the video finally died. Pan world is the one I use now. Its a great pump.

@rileyii373 8 жыл бұрын

+michael bray Thanks for the response. I was looking at the Pan World. It seems to be the choice of our fellow reefers. I think I will go with the Pan World..

hello there Big Mike how are you doing love your water station when is completed but I have one question for you I order my cam lock fittings and I only received the 2 females so when I order the two males do they need to be the same size as the female which is 1 inch thank you for your video and ideal it made my saltwater changing very easy

Can you post a link for the hose connectors? Also, what kind of hose are you using?

@lukejo45 7 жыл бұрын

Nice setup, just wondering are those black rubber hoses reef safe as far as leaching any chemicals back into your system.

@michael8866 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Luke, Sorry I never got a notification for your question. Yes these were 100% rubber. I spoke with many reefers who were currently using these hoses. Used them for a long time with LPS and SPS. Never had an issue.

I'm designing a system with 40 gal norwesco tanks. I had the design pump fresh saltwater to my display 40ft away down the hall. I didnt think about using the same pump to remove the water from the tank. Can u help me further designing that part of it

great job on this video.. can I ask what glue do you use for all the joints on your pipe work. I've had couple of tanks years ago but now thinking of setting up a sump.

Can you show how you setup the quick connects? I found it on amazon but what else do i need?

@GrueSomeStandard 8 жыл бұрын

question for you. I'm building a saltwater station in my basement. I'm looking to do a similar setup as this. what kind of pump would you recommend that has enough balls to pump a total distance of about 15' and an elevation of about 15'? my hope is too pump water from the basement straight up into my display. thanks.

@mbray94 8 жыл бұрын

+GrueSomeStandard I would definitely get one with a high head. If you want sufficient flow I would go with something that has a 25-30 foot head. I did a lot of testing with different pumps and head height. The pump you saw in the video has a head height of 35 feet. Hope this helps.

@greggbell3030 8 жыл бұрын

just would like to know what size holes you drilled in the garbage can and what size are the both heads you are using

@michael8866 8 жыл бұрын

+Gregg Bell I think the holes where the pipe enters the can is 1 1/8 and then I used a rubber gasket. Don't hold me to that measurement but its been a while.

This is the premium black garden hose found at Sears in the garden section. It has stainless steel connectors which I cut off to use hose barbs. It is 5/8" diameter. My email is mbray94@yahoo.com If you need any help.

Hello. Type this in on Amazon "banjo polypropylene" and should pull up all of the fittings and you can pick by your size. Sorry I don't remember the exact model but if you need anything my email is mbray94@yahoo.com.

Janet Diaz Yes. You need the feamale and the male. They work great. I would double check the description on amazon. Some are with threaded female ends and some are without. If you have any specific questions feel free to email me at mbray94@yahoo.com.
