    Looks fantastic. Man I am jealous. What kind of valve magic do you do to do water changes?

    I did the keep it simple approach!

    RO water to the right. Has a 3 way 90 coming out with a tube w valve coming straight up so I can fill a 5 gallon w RO water - gravity fed.

    Then the line comes out to a valve and then a t going to pump and salt container also goes to pump with a valve. The line going up I have a t that has flex hose going to the sump so I can pump fresh salt into it and when valve is straight up it goes to the top of the salt container so it flushes the water down creating a lot of air and turbulence while mixing the salt.

    One more thing. The pump that mixes the salt is also going to be set to my apex. I will run it 5 min an hour once I have mixed the salt just to keep it aerated.
