Spent a few hrs today separating dual pane glass to make a couple cube tanks for ro storage & salt mixing. Going to build 2 20"x20"x18" tanks. I drilled the bottom for a drain. Not sure how I am going to set them up yet. Be a stand if some sort. Still have to build them and water test anyway.

Still waiting for taxes to finish the build (lights & MP-40) but picked up a RO/DI & took the glass I had sitting around and make 2 20"x20"x18" storage/mixing tanks.

Here are the photos:

With the possibility of my lights & MP40 being here tomorrow I hauled 24 5gal buckets of water up the stairs this evening & got the tank filled & running with RO/DI water. Will start mixing the salt in the tank tomorrow when I get a chance to grab a bucket. Thinking of maybe moving from my IO to Reef crystals... Thoughts?

Tank full & running since thursday, added enough salt to bring it to 1.025 . Added a Finnex 300W heater for now, running it with a RKL unit. Water temp is sitting at 78F, much cooler than my 33 gal that tends to stay around 81F. Checked KH, Mg, & Ca this morning. KH around 10, Ca at 360 & Mg at 1110. I am trying to get Mg to 1300 & Ca to 420. will check things again tomorrow, hopefully lights show up & it will be time to move things over & then try and drain and clean up the other tank. Getting much closer!
