You’re going to need an ATO for your New Salt Water tank?One of the objectives of this build was automation... hence no more hauling buckets unless in an emergency. Therefore, here is how I'm going to setup the automatic water change and ATO on the tank:
(The two Litermeter pumps are actually connected together as well)
The fresh saltwater tank will hold about 430 liters which at 1% change a day will last 24 days. I could always reduce this to 0.5% water change per day which would double the number of days.
The RO/DI tank will hold 140 liters. This volume is less important as it will refill automatically. I just wanted it big enough so that the RO/DI unit wasn't running every day to fill it. I calculate that the 140 liters will last about five to ten days, depending on the time of year.
