how to make salt water

[bellaroxio]

I am tired of going to LFS and purchasing 50 gal of saltwater weekly.
Since I have lots of room, what is the best set up to make 50 gal of saltwater weekly?
Do I need another RO?
What type of pump?
....
Thanks so much

Wow! 50 gallons/wk? May I ask how big your tank is?
And we have one of those filters from here... it works well. My husband knows the name of it. It's like a reverse osmosis... something...

Garbage cans work great. Fill with good filtered water and then toss in salt and a powerhead.

I premix all my water for changes, I have a 35 gal rubbermaid tub, heater ( for the winter) and a power head to keep things stirred. I also rigged up a submersable pump with some plumbing and a hose attachment to transfer the water from the garage to the house. I guess i should take some pics, but i am a lazy person!

Actually here is a pic, this was a garbage can i had set up , i have now changed to just the tub

Copy that!!! Couldnt make it sound much easier. This is all it takes.

The big thing, just dont make it hard on yourself trying to make some elaborate setup. Do what you are capable of doing and dont worry about the rest.
