    BTW, looks like a very nice mix station and +1 on does this mean it's getting wet soon?

    It truly depends on what happens on the 20th of this month as I am going to see the doctor who is going to perform the surgery. Depending on the surgery date will detect when I will get the tank wet.

    Well after explaining it that way, it does look lot easier than I anticipated.

    Thanks. As I stated on an earlier post and if I didn't this is why. Just in case there is a worse case scenario I wanted to have the ability to do a 50% water change. And as for getting wet, the tanks not finished.

    I forgot to show some things but I was tired and it was late after all the trips to Lowes and Home Depot.

    The pump used to circulate the mix.

    The water is gravity fed to the salt mixing station.

    And the video of the inside showing the flow. Hope you can see what I'm trying to achieve.

    Late Update

    Sorry for the late update but I haven't been feeling well as of late. Monday I picked up a freebee. It's an AIO acrylic cube tank.

    Yes it has scratches but this is the only downfall.

    Measurements are 20Lx 20W x 15H and came with a power head

    and protein skimmer.

    I made a stand and applies about 4-5 coats of Killz. And I did a wet test and there are no leaks.
