Big update! Since my last post. I've been able to check a few major things off the list. All the plumbing is finally complete.
I plumbed the saltwater mixing station to the sump via a T on the emergency drain for easy water changes. I just need to turn a few ball valves and I can fill the sump with saltwater directly from the saltwater reservoir.
I filled up the system with tap water and got most of the equipment dialed in. The Abyzz pumps are amazingly quiet, vibration free and have no trouble pumping water up 12 feet to the display.
The overflow box is not as silent as I'd like but I'm hoping that once the tank is "salted" it will quiet down.
I also installed the ATO. I'm using a Tunze Osmolator with the Tunze Switched Socket and an Ecotec Versa as the ATO pump. I'm using the RO/DI side of the mixing station as my ATO reservoir. I'm using the Apex, a solenoid and optical sensors to automate the filling of the RO/DI reservoir. I installed the Versa in a place that would make it easy to switch from topping off with RO/DI to utilizing the kalkwasser stirrer.
