      How are you taking the water out of the tanks? I started using a shop vac and it has drastically decreased my time.

      I was a small powerhead and a good lenght of hose to pump the 40-45 gallons out of the 150 into a 55 gallon drum. That is pumped to the toilet with another length of hose and the same powerhead. I mix the salt for the 150 in a 55 gallon drum with a contraption I built using a mag 5 pump. I mix 12 gallons in a 15 gallon drum with a small powerhead. I remove the water from the 58 using the same method for the 150, and pump in the new salt with a smaller power head.

  8. 58 almost ready!

  9. 58 and it's sump, return pump, sitting in a vinegar bath.

  10. 58 is looking great! Algae overgrowth is disappearing before my eyes!

      make sure if you get a LCD to get a 1080P version with a refresh rate of atleast 120hz. If you go lower the picture isnt as nice.
