I am thinking about a 30 gallon acrylic tank with a circ pump for mixing/transfering. the reason why is I am limited on room so if I have one built to a certain size it will fit perfectly beside my tank and not be noticed much. it will have a float valve for my RO system so just add salt - mix - transfer to tank - done! What do you all think about this? ------------- http://utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61789&title=ok-here-it-goes-my-redneck-120-rimless-build" rel="nofollow">

| If it is going to be next to your tank you could plumb it In to your main tank and also have a way to bypass the water change tamk. When you want to do a water change you close the valve to the main tank, drain the water from the Water change tank, refill with Ro, add salt, mix for a while, and then reopen the valve to complete the water change. |

I plan on plumbing it to the sumpso all I will need to do is remove the old and turn on pump for a minute and replace with new. after replacing it will automatically refill and I will add salt and mix.

+1 Don't just use it for water change, add the water volume to the whole system. Then simply segregate it when you go to change the water.
