You need a good RODI system, salinity measurement tool, and salt mix. A power head and heater help greatly for matching temp/salinity during mixing. TDS meter helps to track integrity of the RODI filtration.

How advanced your setup needs to be depends on tank volume and frequency of changing it. I have a 55 gallon so I use several 5 gallon buckets with a 5 stage RODI system.

Also have no desire trying to get it from water station into tank

wouldn't a power head and a hose help with that?
