Richard L Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Ever since I added my 160g frag tank to my system my once robust mixing station became anemic. Getting ready to rectify that now. The system is centered around two 110 gallon and one 55 gallon inductor (inverted cone style) tanks. I went with inductor tanks so that I can drain them completely and I believe they will efficiently mix salt and kalk since there is no where for solids to drop out or build up. Hope to plumb them up this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolt Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Very industrial looking. I assume you will leave room for the pallets of salt mix somewhere conveniently close by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Nice! Maybe you should run some hoses outside the garage for RO and DI and install a money operated saltwater/RO dispenser. Just pull your car up, insert cash or swipe your credit card, and presto, the pump turns on and doles out premixed saltwater and RO water. You could even run a 3rd for drinking water or make super clean ice. The skies the limit Richard! Sent via Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenver Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 But the real question is what would that do to the home's value? Nice!

FarmerTy Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 You're right! With the way Richard has been selling frags, we should just get it zoned commercial anyways! Sent via Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard L Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Showoff. Like you're so big because you do water changes. I know, I know. Probably next month I'll read some article about not doing water changes and go cold turkey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard L Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Out with the koi, in with the shark pond... Let's see, 10% water change on 5500 gallon shark pond is 550 gal per week. Hmm. We're going to need a bigger boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard L Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Badass. Brs commercial in the making. Lol, as I was cleaning out my garage I kept finding those BRS containers I've accumulated over the years. Instead of throwing them away I thought it would be fun to display them and scare the hell out of newbs as I explain the absolute necessity of keeping three different grades of GFO on hand.

victoly Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 low grade is for softies, mid grade is for lps, high cap is for SPS. SIMPLE!!! a mixture of all three is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
