Hello peeps, just wanted to get everyones thoughts on this. I have two 32 g brute trashcans that I've drilled holes in for bulkheads, I then bought all the plumbing and a hydor seltz d 1000.
I have all the necessary valves, float switch, and BRS RODI system.
PS needed this for entry in giveaway.

Don't forget a scale to weigh the salt and you're good to go. When time to make new salt water. I turn on the RO and there's a float valve in the reservoir and I let it fill up with RO water by then I have weighed the salt that goes in there and it's pretty close to exact on the salt. You still need to adjust your specific gravity for the salt. You'll get the hang of it
