Dream Reef Tank Build Series | Ep. 4 | Saltwater Mixing Station

If you’re a reefer you know how important water changes are in the hobby. This video demonstrates how I built my salt water mixing station. I currently live in a 2 bedroom condo without a garage or large backyard so I had to really be creative when planning where and how I built my salt water mixing station. I utilized a storage cabinet just above my washer and dryer unit which made it the perfect place for my situation. I plan on doing daily automatic water changes with my Neptune DOS. Since the location of the mixing station is close to my reef tank and near a drain, it makes the water change process really easy.

Below are some some links to the materials used to build my salt water mixing station:
