spudwrench Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Awesome would love to see some more pics and ideas. Currently waiting on floor tile to show up but a sink install / water station will be the next thing on the list. Link to comment

Marine Depot Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Work in progress.... That's a nice looking shelf unit! Did you get the containers locally or online (if we may pry)? Link to comment
Marine Depot Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Compact and clean! Thanks for sharing. How long did it take to set everything up? Link to comment
Eckozulu Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 That's a nice looking shelf unit! Did you get the containers locally or online (if we may pry)? I got the 2 containers on top online, they are dog food containers, hold about 35 gallons each. The bottom container is from a tractor supply store locally, holds 55 gallons. I'm gonna contect the top two containers to hold fresh water. Then have them drain into the 55g container to mix salt. The shelving unit sits right next to my quarantine system that has 2 5g fluval specs and one 37g tall. Makes for easy water changes. Everything drains into my house sump pit. Thinking about setting up a phyto tank and to start breeding Hawaiian red shrimp to feed my seahorses. Link to comment
BattleAthletics Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 I have a rolling brute that mixes my salt this is just my rodi container with 5g emergency reservoirs, just in case. Idk zombie apocalypse or water shortages. Link to comment

Marine Depot Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 This hobby is already over complicated and my wife just dosnt get it. Ergonomic bucket handles, high volume tubing, and no carpet any where in sight. K.I.S.S This is basically how I do things now, although I recently made room in my garage to set up a more permanent mixing station. It's difficult to find the time between work, commuting and kids... but some day... this year... hopefully. lol Jeff @ MD Link to comment
atrox Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Hey Jeff any word on getting any nutramar ova in? Link to comment
Marine Depot Posted July 11, 2014 Author Share Posted July 11, 2014 Hey Jeff any word on getting any nutramar ova in? Hi atrox. Thank you for your question. I checked our purchase order system and didn't see any POs pending, so I reached out to our buyers to ask what's up. Apparently the lack of stock is on the vendor side; Nutramar doesn't have inventory nor do they have an ETA of when more Ogo will be available. Our purchasing team did state they are monitoring the matter so that we can replenish our shelves as soon as they make it available. Sorry I don't have better news to report.

atrox Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 No biggie, thanks for your response. Link to comment
Islandoftiki Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 This is my setup. BRS 6 stage chloramines deluxe setup plumbed into a 30 gallon brute trash can with a float valve to shut off the RO/DI system when it's full. Link to comment
