Any issues using a pump like this for the mixing station? It’s pretty strong so I can pump a ways to the tank plus it isn’t very loud. My only concern is holding up under saltwater conditions. It is pretty cost effective.

I would not use that for saltwater. Aluminum pump housing or stainless is a no go for constant contact with saltwater. Use one that is designed for saltwater aquariums. There are many to choose from.

At up to 1200 watts for only 998gph is extremely inefficient.
