Finally building my mix station

[BanZI29]

Good Moring all,
I have finally got all that I need to make my mixing station. I will be making it a little bit different from others as I have very little room to use. It's going into the area on the right in the pic.

I will be making a stacked station that is Gravity fed, no pumps. I bought the BRS 4 stage, and I have a DI canister that I will be adding to it to make it a five stage.

I will also be using Brute cans since they are really food grade. the water line is coming from my 2nd bathroom line that I actually have access to because of the panel.
and yes I will be making repairs as well since the previous owners had NO dang CLUE what they were doing. (duck tape really? Mcgaver FAIL!)

I will continue to update this thread as I progress but here are pix of what I have so far, along with my inspiration for this build.


so stay tooned!! (yes that spelling was intentional, just call me Wile E.)

I love it. I recently placed a 220L barrel ontop of my washing machine. And the weight of it is deflecting the roof of it so much it's a joke lol. I'm a silly boy.

The Phyto-Pod bar is EPIC!

I am upgrading the "bar" with some new culture vessels I got from a beer brewing place. They are the perfect size and are made for sterile applications like this.

Following! I’m curious to see how the mixing station is going to turn out!

I'm doing something similar in that I'll have RODI on top of 2 mixing tanks - one for salt and one for kalk. Both salt and kalk will be fed to my tank with dosing pumps so together with the gravity fed RODI into those 2 I'll have no need for big circulation pumps (I'm going to do AWC with a controller).

But I'll still need to do something for the initial mixing of either salt or kalk - perhaps a powerhead just dropped into each tank? What do you plan on doing to mix the salt?
