This blows-never logistically wanted to make my own water

But now my lfs who has been it for recent years is closing

What do i need to all need to make my own saltwater-set up-the process
 
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.
 
Tanks 180g

Usually i change30 gallons every other week
 
Also have no desire trying to get it from water station into tank
