Thanks for the advice, I'll use the mag for salt mixing. What are the thoughts on turnover rate? Should I look for something with similar specs to the mag?

I was away on vacation for a while but managed to get the stand cleaned up. Started by scraping the loose rust, treated with a cleaner, sanded and sprayed with a truck bed liner. Happy with the results.

Got a 150 GPD 5 stage BRS system with booster pump set up. Ran it and was getting TDS after the DI so I ordered new filters. Ordered July 24th and still waiting but looks like its finally been shipped.

Picked up some Marco dry rock and will be starting the cycle in a brute while I work on getting the system moved into place. Going to be throwing in some Bio S as recommended by Wai's. Am I still going to need an ammonia source for this or will the Bio S take care of that?

Hoping to get started on the stand skin this weekend. Right now Im leaning towards some cabinet grade plywood that ill counter sink some magnets into so I can remove panels for maintenance. Anyone have some pictures or tips? Ive only ever built wood stands so this will be a new challenge.
