My Waterbox Infinia 275.6 turns up tomorrow. It is going to be in storage whilst I plan the switch over from my current 6ft (unfortunately it is going in the same spot). As I have mentioned on another thread, I am building a mixing station in my outdoor shed so I can automate the top off of the RO reservoir and I might even automate water changes but I haven’t got that far as yet.

Based on lots of reading and a lot of questions. I was going to put the mixing station and RO top up in the shed which is about 12 metres (40 ft) away. My plan is to run an FMM module connected to my apex and just buy one of the extensions below to connect the pump to the FMM module. I was also going to pump the RO direct into a smaller tank from my mixing bucket, before putting directly into my sump so I don’t risk dumping 150litres into my sump. Does all that sound about right?

You can buy a 50ft one. I’m interested if the ‘set up’ sounds right.

I’m going to use a wifi enabled pump for or wifi enabled plug switches to control the mixing station.

The tank finally turned up. A blooming good job it went into my neighbours garage. It was close though. Now the fun really begins.

Swap over date set for 15th May. Just in process of buying all the gear for the salt mixing station.

Just arrived back from Nashville where I bought an algae turf scrubber as well.

The mixing station was installed yesterday so we have started. Just waiting for my extra long cable to arrive to connect the apex top up unit.
