So I bought an extra pump for the saltwater mixing station. One will be dedicated to filling up the saltwater side and the other will be for mixing the saltwater. I drilled a hole in the tops to feed the cord and hose through and it's looking good and ready for action. It will be a while before I need to do any water change, so right now, I have both tanks filled with freshwater. I'm still playing with the levels a little bit in the tank so the salinity is a bit of a moving target. Right now it's a bit below 1.025. I really don't want to get it any higher. Preferably I'd like it at 1.024.
Also, made some improvements with my extra ATO reservoir. I drilled a hole to use for filling up the ATO reservoir and found a perfect lid. It's actually a blood sugar test strip holder that was sitting around the garage.. I cleaned it up and cut off the bottom so it was basically a cylinder with a cap on it. I tried silicon but it was too flexible and kept pulling out. Ended up using hot glue which worked perfectly and is much more secure. Here's the pics with it open and closed.
