About to setup a couple brute 50g cans for a saltwater mixing station. I see most people have them drilled on the side of the can. Is there any problem with drilling the center of the bottom and put my bulkhead there through the stand?

You absolutely can. I just did it on a couple of brutes and I love it. Went with 3/4” pvc. When I get home I’ll take a couple pics of the plumbing for youAbout to setup a couple brute 50g cans for a saltwater mixing station. I see most people have them drilled on the side of the can.

No problem. Enjoy the build!@ReefGeek90 Thanks so much I really appreciate all the pics. Looks like thats the type of deisgn im going with!
I don’t have a stand pipe and I haven’t had any problems so far but it is quite new so will see. Could you elaborate on what your envisioning? Just a piece of pvc extending inside the tank to minimize salt sitting in the 90 degree elbow at the bulkhead?Do you get a slug of salt or do you use a stand pipe
Does your wife have a sister Great Christmas Present ! The fact she didn't cringe about the waist tells me you're going to have a great set-upshe stood quiet for the entire weekend watching me build the stand and glue all the PVC knowing good-and-well that I was going to rip it all out in a few weeks and start all over.
